AI Article Synopsis
- A 40-year-old man with shoulder pain due to severe underdevelopment of the glenoid was treated successfully with bone grafts to enhance the affected areas.
- This case highlights a rare treatment method for stable, non-arthritic shoulders with glenoid hypoplasia, which is not commonly documented.
- The procedure increased the joint's surface area and improved function, which may help in future shoulder surgeries if needed.
Article Abstract
Case: A 40-year-old man with shoulder pain secondary to severe bilateral glenoid hypoplasia without posterior instability was treated successfully with bilateral posterior glenoid bone graft augmentation.
Conclusion: While glenoid hypoplasia is associated with a variety of patient presentations, treatment of the stable and nonarthritic shoulder is rarely described. A posterior glenoid bone graft can be used to augment deficient posterior glenoids, increasing the articulating surface area, restoring function, and potentially facilitating future shoulder arthroplasty.
