Purpose: To investigate the relationship between glenoid width and other morphologic parameters using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) images of native shoulders, and to create a new measurement tool to assess glenoid defects in a Canadian population with established anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: Forty-three glenoid CT scans were analyzed for patients who underwent contralateral shoulder glenoid reconstruction for anterior shoulder instability between 2012 and 2020. Demographic data were obtained including age, gender and BMI. The subjects were excluded if they had a prior history of ipsilateral shoulder instability, shoulder fractures, or bone tumors. The following glenoid parameters were measured: width (W), height (H), anteroposterior (AP) depth, superior-inferior (SI) depth and version. The shape of the glenoid was also classified into pear, inverted comma or oval.
Results: There were 35 male and 8 females with a mean age of 34.5 ± 12.9 years. The glenoid width was strongly correlated with the height (R = 0.9) and a regression model equation was obtained: W (mm) = 2.5 + 0.7*H (mm). There was also strong correlation with gender (P < 0.001), glenoid shape (P = 0.030), AP and SI depths (P = 0.006 and P < 0.001, respectively). Male gender was associated with higher measurement values for all parameters. The most common glenoid shapes were the pear (46.5%) and oval morphotypes (39.6%) for the whole study group.
Conclusion: The native glenoid width can be estimated based on glenoid height using ipsilateral 3D CT. This may help with preoperative planning and surgical decision-making for patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss.
Level Of Evidence: III.

Dynamic anterior stabilization of the shoulder using buttons.

NAEON Institute, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Surgical procedures to treat anterior shoulder instability are essentially divided into those for significant bone loss and those without relevant bone loss. However, there is a gray area between these procedures that would not require bone grafting but would benefit from improved stabilization mechanisms. This study evaluates a technique based on the triple soft tissue block, the dynamic anterior stabilization of the shoulder, using an adjustable button.

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) and the open Latarjet (OL) procedure are the most frequently preferred methods in the treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability. The aim of this study was to compare patients who underwent ABR or OL due to anterior glenohumeral instability in terms of functional capacity, glenohumeral bone loss, residual apprehension, redislocation, and dislocation arthropathy.
Methods: A total of 56 patients who underwent ABR or OL due to anterior glenohumeral instability between January 2018 and December 2021 were evaluated retrospectively.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY, USA.
Background: The incidence of primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) and the prevalence of obesity have increased in the United States. Despite this, the literature assessing the effect of morbid obesity (body mass index≥40 kg/m) on perioperative surgical outcomes remains inconsistent.
Methods: A retrospective review of consecutive elective primary rTSA cases from January 2016 through September 2023 at a single tertiary referral center was performed.
Glenoid wear and migration pattern of a humeral head resurfacing implant: a prospective study using radio stereometric analysis.
JSES Int
November 2024
Department of Clinical Sciences at Danderyd Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: The humeral head resurfacing arthroplasty (HHR) is normally used as a hemi shoulder arthroplasty and has been in use for the treatment of Gleno-Humeral osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder for more than 30 years. Some studies, however, shows that anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty provides better improvement in function than a HHR for patients with OA. Reasons for this may be a progressive glenoid wear (GW) or loosening of the HHR.

A 25-year-old male presented with a ballistic fracture of the right glenoid resulting in > 30% loss of the posterior glenoid articular surface and acute posterior glenohumeral instability that was treated with open reduction internal fixation with iliac crest autograft transfer. There is limited consensus on the operative management of ballistic intra-articular fractures due to the heterogeneity of these injuries. Acute posterior glenohumeral instability secondary to a ballistic fracture is a rare injury pattern.
