X-ray after prompt reduction at emergency department.
Case Discussion
The patient presented above reported recurrent episodes of shoulder dislocation. Therefore, the repetitive events might relate to the Hill-Sachs lesion observed in the radiographs. Studies show that this lesion is created not at the time of dislocation but throughout the process of reduction.
