Abstract

Glenoid bone loss must be recognized when treating patients with shoulder instability to appropriately determine surgical treatment with either a soft-tissue stabilization or bony augmentation procedure. Three-dimensional reconstructions from computed tomography scans currently are the clinical gold standard for accurately evaluating glenoid bone loss. Novel advances in magnetic resonance imaging sequences and processing may allow for obtaining complete bony information from a single preoperative imaging study.
