Background: Concavity compression is an important glenohumeral stabilizing factor, and recent studies have suggested that peripheral glenoid bone loss creates the most relevant change in stability. This study analyzed changes in the bony shoulder stability ratio (BSSR) with sequential anterior glenoid bone loss (0%-40% width) and with reconstructive bone graft procedures. The aim was to quantify the critical bone defect size that would significantly alter the BSSR and determine restoration of the BSSR with the Latarjet procedure.
Methods: Anterior glenoid defects were created with sequential osteotomies (10%-40%), and defects were reconstructed using 2 Latarjet modifications (classic Latarjet procedure and congruent-arc Latarjet [CAL] procedure). We obtained 108 computed tomography scans of (1) intact scapulae (n = 12), (2) after each bone defect (n = 48), and (3) after each reconstruction (n = 48). The glenoid concavity depth and concavity radius were measured, and the BSSR was determined using a validated mathematical formula. Statistical analysis was performed to determine significant differences between the intact state and each of the deficient and reconstructed glenoids.
Results: The glenoid concavity radius increased by approximately 30% (14 mm) and the glenoid concavity depth decreased by 50% (1.5 mm) from the 0% to 40% defect. The maximal sequential change in depth (1.2 mm, 44%; P < .001) and radius (6 mm, 12%; P < .001) occurred at the 10% glenoid defect. The overall BSSR decreased by approximately 40% (0.15) from the intact glenoid to the 40% defect. This change in the BSSR was most profound (0.11, 30%; P < .001) at the 10% glenoid defect and was only marginal thereafter between the 20% and 40% defects (0.24, 0.22, and 0.21). The Latarjet procedure adequately restored glenoid concavity; however, the CAL procedure significantly overcorrected all 3 parameters at 10% defect.
Conclusion: The glenoid concavity depth and BSSR undergo progressive deformation with sequential bone loss, and 90% of this change occurs with a 10% glenoid defect. Articular concavity and the BSSR are adequately restored with the Latarjet procedure, and the CAL procedure significantly overcorrects concavity in mild (0%-10%) defects.

Objective: Our study aims to quantitatively determine the concavity of the glenoid articular surface in patients with hypermobile shoulders compared to those without.
Method: We examined medical records of shoulder CTs from 2017 to 2022, selecting 50 patients with clinical signs of joint hypermobility for our case group and 54 for our control group. Two blinded readers independently assessed the glenoid morphology, calculating the glenoid concavity angle (GCA) and evaluating the articular surface shape as concave, flat, or convex.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of the arthroscopic autologous iliac crest grafting (AICG) procedure with an adjustable-loop suspensory fixation device in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone defects.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on the patients who underwent arthroscopic AICG with an adjustable-loop suspensory fixation device from January 2017 to December 2020. Patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability, significant glenoid bone defects, and a minimum follow-up of 24 months were included.

Background: The treatment of bony glenoid defects after anteroinferior shoulder dislocation currently depends on the amount of glenoid bone loss (GBL). Recent studies have described the glenoid concavity as an essential factor for glenohumeral stability. The role of glenoid concavity in the presence of soft tissue and muscle forces is still unknown.

Background: The stability ratio (SR) is used to assess the stability of the glenoid in anterior shoulder instability (ASI). However, the association between the SR and postoperative clinical function and instability recurrence after arthroscopic Bankart repair is unknown.
Hypothesis: Patients with a higher SR would have better postoperative clinical scores and a lower incidence of recurrent instability than patients with a lower SR after arthroscopic Bankart repair.
