Glenohumeral Bone Defects: A Review of the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Advances Over the Last 20 Years
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe the most relevant literature on the diagnostic analysis and therapeutic options for glenohumeral bone defects reported in the last 20 years.
Materials and Methods: A search was conducted in the PubMed database with the terms “Glenoid defect”, “Humeral defect”, “Shoulder instability” and “Glenoid track”, filtered by year from 2000 to 2021. Studies published in English and Spanish, involving adult patients, were included.
Results: We reviewed a total of 56 articles. A narrative chronological review of the approach to glenohumeralbone defects in anterior instability was performed.
Conclusions: Technological advances have allowed the development of evaluation and management algorithms aimed at achieving the best outcomes according to the characteristics of each patient. To date, the current literature recommends surgical treatment of instability based on the objective measurement of glenohumeral bone defects, for which arthroscopy and 3D reconstruction tomography offer the most accurate quantification.
