Abstract
One of the key factors in shoulder stabilization surgery is how much glenoid bone loss is present. Too much glenoid bone loss, or the combination of glenoid bone loss combined with a humeral side Hill-Sachs deformity, can lead to an "off-track" lesion and significantly greater risk of recurrence. If the potential surgical solution for instability leads to greater glenoid bone loss, we could create more problems for our patients.
