Description
Pierre-Emmanuel Goetz and colleagues present a 2026 case report on shoulder repair with donor bone and cartilage grafts. A reverse Hill-Sachs lesion is a dent in the ball of the shoulder after a backward dislocation. When the dent covers a quarter to half the ball, the joint may not go back in place, and no standard fix exists. The team used fresh-frozen grafts from donors to rebuild the joint surface.
Two men were treated, aged 48 and 66, both with epilepsy, the trigger for their dislocations. Their defects covered about 43 and 42 percent of the ball. One graft came from a thigh bone end, the other from a donor shoulder ball. The paper reports how both shoulders worked and looked on imaging eight years later, adding rare long-term data for this graft choice.
