The shoulder is the joint most often affected by dislocations. It is known that bony defects of the glenoid and/or humerus can lead to recurrent dislocations even after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization. To prevent recurrent instability, it appears reasonable to reduce fresh and larger Hill-Sachs lesions (off-track lesions). In spine surgery, balloon kyphoplasty is widely used for fracture reduction. The aim of this study was to determine whether the balloon dilatation procedure is transferable to the humeral head and under which conditions it can be successful.
