LITFL Eponym Library IMAGE NEEDED

Maurice David Sachs (1909-1987) was an American radiologist.

Worked as a radiologist with Harold Arthur Hill in San Fransisco California

In 1940, published a report of 119 shoulder dislocation cases. They determined that the cortical depression in the posterolateral head of the humerus was related to impaction of the humeral head against the inferior glenoid in anterior shoulder dislocation.

The deformity/fracture is eponymously attributed the Hill-Sachs Lesion
