"Anterior glenohumeral dislocation will lead to impaction of the posterolateral humeral head and anterior glenoid rim. Repeat dislocations can lead to further bony defects in both the humeral head and glenoid and the engaging Hill–Sachs defect is associated with decreased glenoid bone stock, glenoid rim fracture, and chronic instability 14. Bankart lesions are up to 11x more common in patients with a Hill-Sachs defect, with increasing incidence with increasing size 8."
"It was first described in 1940 by American radiologists Harold Arthur Hill (1901-1973) and Maurice David Sachs (1909–1987) 3,11,12. The "engaging" Hill-Sachs was described by Burkhart and De Beer in 2000 10."
"normal flattening of the posterolateral humeral head caudal to the level of coracoid should not be misinterpreted as a Hill-Sachs defect 2,4 (sometimes termed pseudo-Hill-Sachs defect)"

"Repeat dislocations lead to larger defects, which can result in an "engaging" Hill-Sachs defect, which engages the anterior glenoid when the shoulder is abducted and externally rotated 4 (see article: on-track and off-track shoulder lesions for further discussion) 10."
