From Diagnosis to Decision-Making: A Systematic Review of the Management of Reverse Hill-Sachs Lesions after Posterior Shoulder Dislocations.

(1) Background: The aim of this study is to describe all of the possible surgical procedures that intend to treat the McLaughlin lesion (or Reverse Hill-Sachs) in posterior shoulder dislocation. (2) Methods: Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Embase were used as databases in our research. Studies reporting the results of posterior shoulder dislocations surgically treated with procedures addressing the humeral lesion were evaluated. The studies reporting results after fracture—dislocation and multidirectional instability were excluded. (3) Results: A total of 16 studies were included in our review for a total of 207 shoulders with a mean age of 41.7 years that were evaluated at a mean of 62.1 months. The Modified McLaughlin procedure and the Graft procedures were the most commonly performed. No statistically significant difference was found between the two at the evaluation of the clinical score. (4) Conclusions: Our review highlights the importance of a correct diagnosis and an accurate surgical treatment choice based on the surgeon's experience and on the patients' characteristics.
