[Sonographic assessment of typical lesions in shoulder dislocation].

The traumatic dislocation of the shoulder joint is the most often joint luxation. The involved patients are often sporting and between the age of 20 to 40 years. The therapeutic and prognostic point of interest is to recognize and reconstruct injured structures. Among the soft tissue injuries the Bankart lesions, among the osseous injuries the Hill-Sachs defect are numeric well to the fore. Hitherto existing diagnostic methods for these injuries are either invasive or with X-rays. Its is demonstrated, that dynamic ultrasonography examination of the shoulder joint can visualize besides the rotator cuff abnormalities of the labrum glenoidale and the caput humeri outline.
