Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]

When we talk about 'Hill Sachs Lesion', we speak about the glenohumeral joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint. We can divide the anatomy of the glenohumeral joint into four aspects: [1]

  • bony part: the scapula with his glenoid and the humeral head;
  • the fibrocartilaginous structure surrounding the glenoid, namely the labrum;
  • the capsule and ligamentous structures;
  • musculature.
