Article Abstract

Background: Assessment of glenoid bone defects is important to select the optimal glenoid component design during shoulder arthroplasty planning and implantation. This study presents a fully automated method to describe glenoid bone loss using 3-dimensional measurements without the need for a healthy contralateral reference scapula.

Methods: The native shape of the glenoid is reconstructed by fitting a statistical shape model (SSM) of the scapula. The total vault loss percentage, local vault loss percentages, defect depth, defect area percentage, and subluxation distance and region are computed based on a comparison of the reconstructed and eroded glenoids. The method is evaluated by comparing its results with a contralateral bone-based reconstruction approach in a data set of 34 scapula and humerus pairs with unilateral glenoid bone defects.

Results: The SSM-based defect measurements deviated from the contralateral bone-based measurements with mean absolute differences of 5.5% in the total vault loss percentage, 4.5% to 8.0% in the local vault loss percentages, 1.9 mm in the defect depth, 14.8% in the defect area percentage, and 1.6 mm in the subluxation distance. The SSM-based method was statistically equivalent to the contralateral bone-based method for all parameters except the defect area percentage.

Conclusion: The presented method is able to automatically analyze glenoid bone defects using 3-dimensional measurements without the need for a healthy contralateral bone.

Recurrent anterior instability with glenoid bone loss is a difficult problem with several surgical options. The Latarjet technique remains the gold standard for glenoid bone reconstruction in the setting of critical glenoid bone loss with excellent long-term outcomes. However, this technique has well known downsides including high rates of complications.

Background: Management of a first-time anterior shoulder dislocation in young and active patients remains a topic of ongoing debate. This study aims to use choice-based conjoint analysis to identify the factors influencing a surgeon's decision-making process and explore potential heterogeneity in the identified decision patterns.

Methods: A discrete choice experiment was conducted among all 94 members of the Belgian Elbow and Shoulder Society.

Background: Shoulder instability is a frequent concern in active duty military personnel because of the high physical demands of service. Arthroscopic Bankart repair is commonly employed to address anterior shoulder instability, but there is limited data on return-to-duty outcomes in military cohorts, particularly in the South Korean population.

Methods: This retrospective study included 30 active duty male soldiers who underwent isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair at a single military hospital.

Background: The extent to which excessive glenoid retroversion leads to increased glenohumeral contact pressures and whether these increases can be mitigated surgically is unknown.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of excessive glenoid retroversion and posterior iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) with or without glenoid osteotomy on glenohumeral contact patterns.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Aims: Dislocation arthropathy of the shoulder is an advanced arthritis resulting from recurrent glenohumeral dislocation with or without previous stabilization surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in patients with dislocation arthropathy with those with primary osteoarthritis (OA) and glenoid bone loss.

Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort study including 22 patients with dislocation arthropathy who were treated by one surgeon between 2011 and 2021 and a matched group of 44 patients who were also treated with RTSA, for OA.
