In a prospective study we evaluated the use of diagnostic ultrasound for Hill-Sachs lesions in unstable shoulder joints of 114 patients. In 38 patients we found a Hill-Sachs lesion by sonography. 31 patients underwent an arthroscopic procedure. The arthroscopic control of the sonographic findings showed a sensitivity of 95%, a specifity of 92%, an accuracy of 94%, a positive predictive value of 95%, and a negative predictive value of 92%. We also documented posttraumatic joint effusion. With these results ultrasound seems to be more reliable than x ray in the diagnosis of Hill-Sachs lesions. Clinical relevance: With a high diagnostic value for detecting Hill-Sachs lesions ultrasound may replace difficult special x ray techniques.
