Abstract

Introduction: Posterior shoulder dislocations are rare (2%) and are associated with seizures, electrocutions and high-energy trauma. They may be associated with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. One of the treatment principles consists of the subscapular tendon transfer to the injury area or McLaughlin procedure.<br />Clinical Case: A case of a man with a reverse Hill-Sachs defect treated with a modification of McLaughlins original technique is presented. The functional results after 13 months of surgery are reported.<br />Results: Currently with a Constant Score of 98 points.<br />Conclusion: The technical modification used for the surgical treatment of the reverse Hill-Sachs lesion presented in this patient demonstrated good functional results with low cost material.
