HillSachssérülés

HillSachssérülés refers to a specific type of injury affecting the shoulder joint. It is characterized by damage to the glenoid labrum, a rim of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, and often involves an associated injury to the biceps tendon. This injury can occur due to direct trauma, such as a fall onto an outstretched arm or a direct blow to the shoulder. Repetitive overhead activities, common in certain sports and occupations, can also contribute to its development over time.

Symptoms of a HillSachssérülés can include pain in the shoulder, particularly with overhead movements, a feeling of instability or looseness in the joint, and a clicking or popping sensation. The severity of the injury can vary, ranging from minor tears to significant disruptions of the labrum and associated structures. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination by a medical professional and imaging studies such as an MRI, which can clearly visualize the labrum and other soft tissues of the shoulder.

Treatment for HillSachssérülés depends on the extent of the damage and the patient's activity level. Conservative management may involve rest, ice, pain medication, and physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve shoulder stability. In cases of significant tears or persistent symptoms, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair the damaged labrum and address any associated injuries. Rehabilitation following surgery is crucial for restoring full shoulder function.
