Fig 3 View of left shoulder from anterosuperior portal. The arthroscopic load-shift test is performed with the humeral head translated in the anterior direction. The humeral head translates to the glenoid rim (arrow). (A, anterior; P, posterior.)

Fig 4 View of left shoulder from anterosuperior portal. The arthroscopic load-shift test is performed with the humeral head translated in the posterior direction. The humeral head translates to the glenoid rim (arrow). (A, anterior; P, posterior.)

Fig 5 View of left shoulder from anterosuperior portal. Further abducting the arm and performing the load-shift test can determine whether the patient's Hill-Sachs lesion (HS) engages.
