Three-Dimensional Morphometric Analysis of Penetrative Depth and Size of Nonarthritic and Degenerative Arthritic Glenoids: Implications for Glenoid Replacement in Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Conclusions: The posterior and inferior parts of the degenerative arthritic glenoid appears thinner than the nonarthritic glenoid. Thus, caution has to be taken when drilling the screw hole or inserting screws into the posteroinferior parts, where the glenoid is thinner than 15 mm on average, to avoid penetration of the far cortex.
