Current Methods Used to Evaluate Glenoid Bone Loss: A Survey of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Background: Evaluation of glenoid bone loss is critical in preoperative planning, as bone loss >13.5% has been associated with worse clinical outcomes. While 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) and the Pico method have been the gold standard in bone loss evaluation, it is unclear how most orthopaedic surgeons evaluate for bone loss in practice.

Sulcus-Deepening Trochleoplasty as an Isolated or Combined Treatment Strategy for Patellar Instability and Trochlear Dysplasia: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To highlight the indications and outcomes for sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty, when used as an isolated procedure as well as in combination with other stabilization techniques for patellar instability.

Methods: We performed a systematic review focused on outcomes and complications following trochleoplasty performed either as an isolated procedure or in combination with other procedures to address patellar instability. Inclusion criteria included studies in English that reported on outcomes following primary open trochleoplasty, including Kujala scores and recurrent instability or dislocation events.
