Management of Glenoid Bone Loss in Shoulder Instability: Where We Are in 2023

Instr Course Lect. 2024;73:691-707.ABSTRACTThe management of glenoid bone loss in shoulder instability can be challenging. Although shoulder instability can often be managed with arthroscopic soft-tissue procedures alone, the extent of glenoid bone loss and bipolar bone defects may require bone augmentation procedures for restoration of stability. In this setting, patient evaluation, examination, treatment options, and surgical pearls are vital. Furthermore, a treatment algorithm is established to guide both indications and the technical application of procedures including Bankart repair with remplissage, Latarjet procedure, and glenoid bone graft options. The limitations, complications, and current research pertinent to each treatment assist in guiding treatment.PMID:38090934
