Shoulder Dislocation: AI-Powered Imaging Assessment
Upload shoulder X-rays or MRI for AI assessment of shoulder dislocation injuries including Hill-Sachs and Bankart lesions.
Overview
The shoulder (glenohumeral joint) is the most commonly dislocated major joint. Anterior dislocations account for approximately 95% of cases. Imaging after dislocation evaluates for associated injuries including Hill-Sachs lesions (compression fractures of the posterolateral humeral head), Bankart lesions (labral avulsions), glenoid bone loss, and rotator cuff tears. Our AI consortium assesses both bony and soft tissue injuries to provide comprehensive post-dislocation assessment relevant to recurrence risk and treatment planning.
Common Symptoms
- Severe shoulder pain after traumatic event
- Visible deformity with squared-off shoulder appearance
- Inability to move the shoulder
- Numbness in the lateral deltoid area (axillary nerve)
- Apprehension with shoulder abduction and external rotation
- Recurrent instability episodes after initial dislocation
Key Imaging Findings
- Hill-Sachs lesion on the posterolateral humeral head
- Bankart lesion with anteroinferior labral detachment
- Bony Bankart with glenoid rim fracture and bone loss quantification
- Greater tuberosity fracture associated with anterior dislocation
- Rotator cuff tear, especially in patients over 40
- HAGL lesion (humeral avulsion of glenohumeral ligament)
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is glenoid bone loss important after shoulder dislocation?
Glenoid bone loss greater than 20-25% significantly increases recurrence risk, even after surgical stabilization. Our AI can help evaluate glenoid morphology and identify bone loss on MRI, though CT is often preferred for precise bone loss quantification.
