  • Title: [Sonographic diagnosis of Hill-Sachs lesions in unstable shoulder joints].
    Author: Jerosch J, Marquardt M, Görtzen M.
    Journal: Ultraschall Med; 1990 Oct; 11(5):251-3. PubMed ID: 2237380.
    Abstract:
    In a prospective study we evaluated the use of diagnostic ultrasound for Hill-Sachs lesions in unstable shoulder joints of 71 patients. The arthroscopic control of the sonographic findings showed a high sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 89%, an accuracy of 95%, a positive predictive value of 93%, and a negative predictive value of 100%. With these results ultrasound seems to be more reliable than x-ray in the diagnosis of Hill-Sachs lesions.
