Abstract

Glenohumeral bone loss is one of the most important factors responsible for failure and recurrence after a shoulder arthroscopic instability repair. A high percentage of patients with traumatic, recurrent anterior instability have some level of glenohumeral bone loss. It is necessary to recognize the amount of bone loss preoperatively in order to determine successful management strategies. Standard radiographs may be inadequate for detecting the extent of glenoid and humeral-head bone loss
