Abstract
Management of posterior shoulder instability in patients with excessive glenoid retroversion can be challenging. However, a corrective posterior glenoid osteotomy is an option. Although various open techniques are available, minimally invasive and arthroscopy surgery are the most advantageous. This study describes the feasibility and safety of an arthroscopic posterior open wedge glenoid osteotomy using an autologous scapular spine graft along with additional posterior capsulolabral complex reattachment. This procedure is a viable option for patients with symptomatic posterior shoulder instability.

Abstract
Purpose To assess and compare glenoid version in patients with anterior shoulder instability (ASI), posterior shoulder instability (PSI), and a control group. Methods The operative notes of all patients that had undergone arthroscopic shoulder instability repair between January 2017 and May 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Magnetic resonance imaging scans were then analyzed, and glenoid version was measured by a single blinded observer. A P value <.05 was considered statistically significant. Results There were 100 patients included in the ASI group, 65 in PSI group, and 100 in the control group. The mean glenoid versions for the ASI group were -16°, -9.1°, and -9.2° for the vault version, simplified vault version, and chondrolabral version, respectively. The mean glenoid versions for the PSI group were -21°, -13.4°, and -16.6° for the vault version, simplified vault version, and chondrolabral version, respectively. The mean versions for the control group were -17.8°, -9.5°, and -9.8° for the vault version, simplified vault version and chondrolabral version, respectively. ANOVA testing and post hoc comparisons revealed the PSI group to be significantly more retroverted than both other groups P < .001. The ASI group's degree of glenoid version was not significantly different to that of the control P = .009. Conclusion Patients with PSI have a higher degree of retroversion in comparison to those with ASI and control. There is no significant difference in glenoid version among patients with ASI when compared with control. Level of Evidence Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
CASE A 40-year-old man presented with progressive shoulder pain, associated with static posterior subluxation and mild eccentric glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Compared with a mean statistical shape model of a normal shoulder, the patient's acromion was abnormally high and horizontal, and the glenoid abnormally inclined inferiorly and minimally retroverted. Restoration of normal scapular anatomy using 3-dimensional planned acromial and glenoid osteotomies led to recentering of the joint and full shoulder function up to 24 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION The correction of associated acromial and glenoid malformation can revert early static posterior subluxation of the shoulder. Whether successful recentering prevents progression of osteoarthritis remains to be established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different joint-preserving techniques for treatment of preosteoarthritic, constitutional static (type C1) posterior shoulder instability (PSI) have been proposed, including posterior glenoid open wedge osteotomy and bone graft augmentation. However, the techniques are demanding, the reported complication and reoperation rates are high, and posterior decentering cannot reliably be reversed. PURPOSE To assess the clinical and radiological longitudinal outcomes of patients with type C1 PSI after arthroscopic posterior articular coverage and shift (PACS) surgery. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective database with longitudinal follow-up including 14 shoulders in 13 patients who underwent an arthroscopic PACS procedure for symptomatic preosteoarthritic constitutional static posterior instability (type C1) with previous failed nonoperative treatment. Patients were clinically evaluated before surgery and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively in terms of satisfaction and pain levels as well as standardized physical examination, Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score, Constant score, and Rowe score. Preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained in all patients. A paired 2-sample t test was used to compare changes in continuous variable parameters over time. Correlation analyses were performed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS All outcome scores and the pain level improved significantly from preoperatively to postoperatively, and the improvement was sustained over the follow-up period of 2 years (pain level, 6.4 preoperatively vs 3.3 at 2 years, P < .001; SSV, 40 vs 70, P = .001; WOSI, 33 vs 56, P = .001; Constant, 70 vs 79, P = .049; Rowe, 52 vs 76, P < .001). The mean glenohumeral and scapulohumeral subluxation indices were significantly lower in the early postoperative period compared with preoperative measurements (glenohumeral, 52% ± 6% vs 58% ± 10%, P = .02; scapulohumeral, 70% ± 8%; vs 77% ± 9%, P = .002, respectively); however, they returned to baseline values at follow-up (57% ± 7% vs 58% ± 10%, P = .7; 75% ± 6% vs 77% ± 9%, P = .4, respectively). A high scapulohumeral subluxation index, excessive glenoid retroversion, and increased posterior positioning of the humeral head in relation to scapular blade axis and older age were correlated with worse clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION Over the follow-up period of 2 years, the PACS procedure significantly improved outcome scores in patients who had preosteoarthritic constitutional static posterior shoulder instability, especially in younger patients with less severe glenoid retroversion and posterior decentering of the humeral head. However, similar to other techniques, the PACS procedure needs to be considered a symptomatic therapy that does not reverse the underlying cause or stop the progressive pathology.

Open and arthroscopic posterior bone block with iliac crest autograft for posterior shoulder instability - systematic review of clinical and radiological outcomes. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 109:103424.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Posterior shoulder instability (PSI) is a rare and challenging pathology to manage. The aim of this review was to assess and compare whether open and arthroscopic iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) bone block procedures succeeded in improving functional and clinical outcomes as well as radiological outcomes of union and graft resorption. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesised that there will be no difference in recurrence rate and functional outcome between open and arthroscopic procedures but there will be a higher complication rate with open bone block procedures. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines using the online databases MEDLINE and Embase. The review was registered on the PROSPERO database. Studies of open or arthroscopic ICBG bone block procedures reporting patient reported outcome measures, recurrence, complications and progression to osteoarthritis and radiological outcomes of graft union and resorption were selected. Studies were appraised using the Methodical index for non-randomised studies (MINORS) tool. RESULTS 14 studies satisfied the inclusion criteria; five studies were arthroscopic and nine used open techniques. A total of 183 patients and 201 shoulders were included, mean age was 25 years range (14-75 years). Recurrent instability ranged from 0% to 12.5% for arthroscopic and 0% to 36.4% for open studies. Arthroscopic studies had statistically significant increases in numerous functional outcome scores but there was no evidence for similar improvements in open studies. Osteoarthritis at follow-up ranged from 12.5% to 47% in arthroscopic and 0% to 81.8% for open studies. Arthroscopic complication rate ranged from 6.7% to 75% compared to 0% to 80% for open studies. Majority of complications were metalware related requiring surgical intervention. Partial graft resorption ranged from 7.7-100% after arthroscopic and 4.8-100% after open procedures. High union rates were seen with both open and arthroscopic techniques. CONCLUSION This study highlights a lack of high-level evidence for arthroscopic and open posterior bone block procedures using ICBG to manage PSI. Functional and instability outcome scores showed significant improvement with arthroscopic ICBG bone block procedures however limited evidence was available for open studies. Metalwork related complications requiring revision and radiographic progression to osteoarthritis was high in both arthroscopic and open studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, systematic review.

Orthop J Sports Med 2022; 10:23259671221083579. [PMID: 35309235 PMCID: PMC8928394 DOI: 10.1177/23259671221083579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: There is no widespread consensus on the surgical treatment of posterior shoulder instability with critical posterior glenoid bone loss. Hypothesis: That opening posterior glenoid wedge osteotomy with soft tissue repair would improve the resistance forces of instability when compared with soft tissue repair alone in the setting of 20% critical bone lose. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Native glenoid retroversion was measured on 9 shoulders using computed tomography (CT) scans. The humerus was potted in 90° of forward flexion and 30° of internal rotation relative to the scapula, and a posterior dislocation was performed to create a posterior capsulolabral injury model. The specimens were each taken through a fixed sequence of testing: (1) posteroinferior capsulolabral tear, (2) no glenoid bone loss with posteroinferior capsulolabral repair, (3) 20% posterior glenoid bone loss with posteroinferior capsulolabral repair, and (4) 20% glenoid bone loss with posterior glenoid opening wedge osteotomy and posteroinferior capsulolabral repair. Bone loss was created using a sagittal saw. The resultant peak forces with 1 cm of posterior translation were measured. A 1-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to compare mean force values. Results: After the initial dislocation event, all shoulders had a resultant posterior capsulolabral injury. The resulting labral injury was extended from 6- to 9-o’clock in all specimens to homogenize the extent of injury. Repairing the capsulolabral complex in the 20% posterior glenoid bone loss group did not result in a statistically significant increase in resistance force compared with the labral deficient group (34.1 vs 22.2 N; P = .068). When 20% posterior bone loss was created, the posterior glenoid osteotomy with capsulolabral repair was significantly stronger (43.8 N) than the posterior repair alone both with (34.1 N) and without (31.8 N) bone loss (P = .008 and .045, respectively). Conclusion: In the setting of critical posterior glenoid bone loss, an opening wedge posterior glenoid osteotomy with capsulolabral repair improved resistance to posterior humeral translation significantly compared with capsulolabral repair alone. Clinical Relevance: The results of this biomechanical cadaveric study may aid in surgical planning for this complex patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of posterior shoulder instability (PSI) associated with excessive glenoid retroversion is a rare, challenging problem in shoulder surgery. One proposed technique is posterior open wedge glenoid osteotomy to correct excessive glenoid retroversion as described by Scott. However, this operation is rarely performed, and limited long-term outcomes using this approach are available. The goal of this study was to analyze the long-term outcomes of posterior open wedge glenoid osteotomy for PSI associated with excessive glenoid retroversion. METHODS Six consecutive patients (7 shoulders) with a mean age of 24 years (range 19-34) were treated with posterior open wedge glenoid osteotomy for PSI associated with a glenoid retroversion greater than 15° and followed up clinically and radiographically at a mean age of 15 years (range 10-19). RESULTS Recurrent, symptomatic PSI was observed in 6 of 7 shoulders (86%). One necessitated revision with a posterior (iliac crest) bone block procedure and was rated as a failure and excluded from functional analysis. One patient rated his result as excellent, 3 as good, 1 as fair, and 1 as unsatisfactory. Mean relative Constant Score (CS%) was unchanged from preoperation to final follow-up (CS% = 72%) and pain did not significantly decrease (Constant Score = 7-10 points; P = .969). The mean Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) improved postoperatively, but with 6 patients the improvement did not reach statistical significance (SSV = 42%-67%, P = .053) and the total Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index averaged 30% at the final follow-up. Mean glenoid retroversion of all 7 shoulders was corrected from 20° (range 16°-26°) to 3° (range -3° to +8°) (P = .018). In the 5 shoulders with preoperative static posterior subluxation of the humeral head, the humeral head was not recentered. All 7 shoulders showed progression of glenoid arthritic changes. CONCLUSIONS Posterior open wedge glenoid osteotomy for PSI associated with excessive glenoid retroversion neither reliably restored shoulder stability nor recentered the joint or prevent progression of osteoarthritis. Alternative treatments for PSI associated with excessive glenoid retroversion have to be developed and evaluated.

Abstract
Background There is limited evidence examining glenoid osteotomy as a treatment for posterior shoulder instability. Methods A search of Medline, Embase, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted from the date of origin to 28th November 2019. Nine out of 3,408 retrieved studies met the inclusion criteria and quality was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies tool. Results In 356 shoulders, the main indication for osteotomy was excessive glenoid retroversion (greater than or equal to approximately −10°). The mean preoperative glenoid version was −15° (range, −35° to −5°). Post-operatively, the mean glenoid version was −6° (range, −28° to 13°) and an average correction of 10° (range, −1° to 30°) was observed. Range of motion increased significantly in most studies and all standardized outcome scores (Rowe, Constant–Murley, Oxford instability, Japan Shoulder Society Shoulder Instability Scoring and mean shoulder value) improved significantly with high rates of patient satisfaction (85%). A high complication rate (34%, n = 120) was reported post-surgery, with frequent cases of persistent instability (20%, n = 68) and fractures (e.g., glenoid neck and acromion) (4%, n = 12). However, the revision rate was low (0.6%, n = 2). Conclusion Glenoid osteotomy is an appropriate treatment for posterior shoulder instability secondary to excessive glenoid retroversion. However, the high rate of persistent instability should be considered when making treatment decisions. Level of Evidence: Systematic review; Level 4

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2021; 479:1995-2005.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atraumatic posterior shoulder instability in patients with pathologic glenoid retroversion and dysplasia is an unsolved problem in shoulder surgery. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES In a preliminary study of a small group of patients with atraumatic posterior shoulder instability associated with glenoid retroversion ≥ 15° and glenoid dysplasia who underwent posterior open-wedge osteotomy and glenoid concavity reconstruction using an implant-free, J-shaped iliac crest bone graft, we asked: (1) What proportion of the patients had persistent apprehension? (2) What were the improvements in patient-reported shoulder scores? (3) What were the radiographic findings at short-term follow-up? METHODS Between 2016 and 2018, we treated seven patients for atraumatic posterior shoulder instability. We performed this intervention when posterior shoulder instability symptoms were unresponsive to physiotherapy for at least 6 months and when it was associated with glenoid retroversion ≥ 15° and dysplasia of the posteroinferior glenoid. All seven patients had a follow-up examination at a minimum of 2 years. The median (range) age at surgery was 27 years (16 to 45) and the median follow-up was 2.3 years (2 to 3). Apprehension was assessed by a positive posterior apprehension and/or posterior jerk test. Patient-reported shoulder scores were obtained and included the subjective shoulder value, obtained by chart review (and scored with 100% representing a normal shoulder; minimum clinically important difference [MCID] 12%), and the Constant pain scale score (with 15 points representing no pain; MCID 1.5 points). Radiographic measurements included glenohumeral arthropathy and posterior humeral head subluxation, bone graft union, correction of glenoid retroversion and glenoid concavity depth, as well as augmentation of glenoid surface area. All endpoints were assessed by individuals not involved in patient care. RESULTS In four of seven patients, posterior apprehension was positive, but none reported resubluxation. The preoperative subjective shoulder value (median [range] 40% [30% to 80%]) and Constant pain scale score (median 7 points [3 to 13]) were improved at latest follow-up (median subjective shoulder value 90% [70% to 100%]; p = 0.02; median Constant pain scale score 15 points [10 to 15]; p = 0.03). Posterior glenoid cartilage erosion was present in four patients (all four had Walch Type B1 glenoids) preoperatively and showed no progression until the final follow-up examination. The median (range) humeral head subluxation index decreased from 69% (54% to 85%) preoperatively to 55% (46% to 67%) postoperatively (p = 0.02), and in two of four patients with preoperative humeral head subluxation (> 65% subluxation), it was reversed to a centered humeral head. CT images showed union in all implant-free, J-shaped iliac crest bone grafts. The median preoperative retroversion was corrected from 16° (15° to 25°) to 0° postoperatively (-5° to 6°; p = 0.02), the median glenoid concavity depth was reconstructed from 0.3 mm (-0.7 to 1.6) preoperatively to 1.2 mm (1.1 to 3.1) postoperatively (p = 0.02), and the median preoperative glenoid surface area was increased by 20% (p = 0.02). No intraoperative or postoperative complications were recorded, and no reoperation was performed or is planned. CONCLUSION In this small, retrospective series of patients treated by experienced shoulder surgeons, a posterior J-bone graft procedure was able to reconstruct posterior glenoid morphology, correct glenoid retroversion, and improve posterior shoulder instability associated with pathologic glenoid retroversion and dysplasia, although four of seven patients had persistent posterior apprehension. Although no patients in this small series experienced complications, the size and complexity of this procedure make it likely that as more patients have it, some will develop complications; future studies will need to characterize the frequency and severity of those complications, and we recommend that this procedure be done only by experienced shoulder surgeons. The early results in these seven patients justify further study of this procedure for the proposed indication, but longer term follow-up is necessary to continue to assess whether it is advantageous to combine the reconstruction of posterior glenoid concavity with correction of pathological glenoid retroversion and increasing glenoid surface compared with traditional surgical techniques such as the posterior opening wedge osteotomy or simple posterior bone block procedures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Shoulder instability in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can result in lifelong pain and functional disability. Treatment in this population is complicated by the severe degree of instability as well as the underlying abnormalities of the joint connective tissue. Appropriate care for these patients requires a thorough understanding of the natural history of their disease, knowledge of the available treatment options, and certain special considerations. This article reviews the pathoanatomy, recognition, and management of shoulder instability in the patient with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Abstract
Posterior shoulder instability has been noted in recent reports to occur at a higher prevalence than originally believed, with many cases occurring in active populations. In most cases, primary surgical treatment for posterior shoulder instability-a posterior labral repair-is indicated for those patients who have failed conservative management and demonstrate persistent functional limitations. In order to optimize surgical success and return to a prior level of function, a comprehensive and focused rehabilitation program is crucial. Currently, there is a limited amount of literature focusing on rehabilitation after surgery for posterior instability. Therefore, the purpose of this clinical commentary is to present a post-surgical rehabilitation program for patients following posterior shoulder labral repair, with recommendations based upon best medical evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior shoulder instability (PSI) is becoming an increasingly recognised condition. A number of different treatment modalities exist to treat PSI including arthroscopic or open surgeries when non-operative treatment has failed. The primary aim of this systematic review was to analyse the rate of recurrent instability after posterior glenoid osteotomy (PGO) for recurrent PSI, while secondary aim was to identify complication rate and the amount of retroversion correction. PATIENTS AND METHODS A review of the online databases MEDLINE and Embase was conducted on 1 November 2019 according to PRISMA guidelines. The review was registered prospectively in the PROSPERO database (Registration No. CRD42020161984). Clinical studies reporting either the recurrence rate, complications or amount of retroversion correction after PGO for PSI were included. The studies were appraised using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) tool. RESULTS The search strategy identified 9 studies eligible for inclusion. Of the 9 studies, 4 showed an improvement in retroversion with a mean change in retroversion of 10o. All 9 studies reported on recurrence rate with an overall rate of 22%. Complications were discussed in only 7 of the studies with overall rate of 18.3%. The most common complication reported in the studies were degenerative changes of the glenohumeral joint (7.3%) and iatrogenic fractures (5.5%). CONCLUSION PGO is a viable option in patients with recurrent PSI that have increased retroversion and have failed non-operative or arthroscopic treatment. It does however carry a significant risk of complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; Systematic review.

Abstract
Background Posterior shoulder instability is uncommon, and its treatment is a challenging problem. An arthroscopically assisted technique for posterior iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) has shown promising short- and long-term clinical results. Changes as shown on imaging scans after posterior ICBG for posterior shoulder instability have not been investigated in the recent literature. Purpose To evaluate changes on computed tomography (CT) after arthroscopically assisted posterior ICBG and to assess clinical outcomes. Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods Patients with preoperative CT scans and at least 2 postoperative CT scans with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were included in the evaluation. Of 49 initial patients, 17 (follow-up rate, 35%) met the inclusion criteria and were available for follow-up. We measured the glenoid version angle and the glenohumeral and scapulohumeral indices on the preoperative CT scans and compared them with measurements on the postoperative CT scans. Postoperatively, graft surface, resorption, and defect coverage were measured and compared with those at early follow-up (within 16 months) and final follow-up (mean ± SD, 6.6 ± 2.8 years). Results The mean preoperative glenoid version was -17° ± 13.5°, which was corrected to -9.9° ± 11.9° at final follow-up (P < .001). The humeral head was able to be recentered and reached normal values as indicated by the glenohumeral index (51.8% ± 6%; P = .042) and scapulohumeral index (59.6% ± 10.2%; P < .001) at final follow-up. Graft surface area decreased over the follow-up period, from 24% ± 9% of the glenoid surface at early follow-up to 17% ± 10% at final follow-up (P < .001). All clinical outcome scores had improved significantly. Progression of osteoarthritis was observed in 47% of the shoulders. Conclusion Arthroscopically assisted posterior ICBG restored reliable parameters as shown on CT scans, especially glenoid version and the posterior subluxation indices. Graft resorption was common and could be observed in all shoulders. Patient-reported clinical outcome scores were improved. Osteoarthritis progression in almost 50% of patients is concerning for the long-term success of this procedure.

Abstract
Purpose To report the clinical history and preliminary outcomes of patients who underwent posterior glenoid reconstruction using a distal tibial allograft (DTA) for the management of posterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. Methods Patients who underwent posterior shoulder stabilization with a DTA in our institution between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic characteristics, operative reports, and clinical and functional outcomes were recorded. Outcomes included postoperative range of motion (ROM), recurrent instability, complications, and revision surgery. All patients underwent at least 1 year of follow-up, except 2 patients who underwent revision surgery. Preoperative and postoperative ROM was compared using the 2-tailed Student t test for paired samples. Results Ten patients who underwent DTA augmentation for posterior instability were included, comprising 2 female and 8 male patients with an average age of 24 years (range, 17-35 years). Five patients had a prior sports-related traumatic event, and 2 patients had a seizure disorder. Seven patients had undergone a prior stabilization procedure. The average reverse bony Bankart lesion was 26% of the glenoid diameter. Concomitant procedures included 4 capsular repairs, 2 labral repairs, 2 capsular plications, and 1 repair for humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament. One patient reported recurrent instability after surgery. Two patients underwent revision surgery, with one removal of symptomatic hardware and one early revision owing to screw penetration into the glenoid. There was no significant difference in preoperative versus postoperative ROM. Conclusions Posterior shoulder instability with significant bony deficiency can be managed using DTA augmentation with good outcomes and a reasonable complication rate in these challenging cases. Level of Evidence Level IV, case series.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2020; 29:1642-1649. [PMID: 32713468 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.03.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2019] [Revised: 03/07/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have evaluated glenoid version as a risk factor for anterior and posterior shoulder instability. However, the association of glenoid version with combined anterior-inferior-posterior (>180°) labrum injuries is unknown. The purpose of the present study was to investigate various parameters of glenoid morphology, including version, in >180° labral tears and to compare these values with isolated anterior and isolated posterior tears. METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging studies from a consecutive series of shoulder instability patients were reviewed by 3 independent observers to measure the parameters of glenoid morphology including superior-inferior and anterior-posterior diameter, diameter ratio, glenoid version using the glenoid vault method, and percentage of glenoid bone loss using the best-fit circle method. These parameters were compared between patients with anterior (group 1), posterior (group 2), and >180° labral tears (group 3). Interobserver reliability coefficients were calculated for all measurements assessed. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences for all group comparisons regarding the glenoid version, with group 2 having the most retroversion (19.9° ± 4.71°) followed by group 3 (14.21° ± 4.59°) and group 1 (11.24° ± 5.3°). Group 3 showed the lowest amount of glenoid bone loss; however, the group differences did not reach statistical significance. There was also no statistically significant group difference for the other measured parameters. Interobserver reliability was in the good to excellent range for all measurements. CONCLUSIONS Combined anterior-inferior-posterior labral tears are associated with an increased amount of glenoid retroversion compared with isolated anterior labral tears. Isolated posterior labral tears have the largest amount of glenoid retroversion of all tear patterns.

Glenoid retroversion is an important factor for humeral head centration and the biomechanics of posterior shoulder stability. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2019; 27:3952-3961. [PMID: 31254026 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-019-05573-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2019] [Accepted: 06/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Glenoid retroversion is a known independent risk factor for recurrent posterior instability. The purpose was to investigate progressive angles of glenoid retroversion and their influence on humeral head centration and posterior translation with intact, detached, and repaired posterior labrum in a cadaveric human shoulder model. METHODS A total of 10 fresh-frozen human cadaveric shoulders were investigated for this study. After CT- canning, the glenoids were aligned parallel to the floor, with the capsule intact, and the humerus was fixed in 60° of abduction and neutral rotation. Version of the glenoid was created after wedge resection from posterior and fixed with an external fixator throughout the testing. Specimens underwent three conditions: intact, detached, and repaired posterior labrum, while version of the glenoid was set from + 5° anteversion to - 25° retroversion by 5° increments. Within the biomechanical setup, the glenohumeral joint was axially loaded (22 N) to center the joint. At 0° of glenoid version and intact labrum, the initial position was used as baseline and served as point zero of centerization. After cyclic preloading, posterior translation force (20 N) was then applied by a material testing machine, while start and endpoints of the scapula placed on an X-Y table were measured. RESULTS The decentralization of the humeral head at glenoid version angles of 5°, 10°, 15°, and 20° of retroversion and 5° of anteversion was significantly different (P < 0.001). Every increment of 5° of retroversion led to an additional decentralization of the humeral head overall by (average ± SD) 2.0 mm ± 0.3 in the intact and 2.0 mm ± 0.7 in the detached labrum condition. The repaired showed significantly lower posterior translation compared to the intact condition at 10° (P = 0.012) and 15° (P < 0.01) of retroversion. In addition, CT measured parameters (depth, diameter, and native version) of the glenoid showed no correlation with angle of dislocation of each specimen. CONCLUSION Bony alignment in terms of glenoid retroversion angle plays an important role in joint centration and posterior translation, especially in retroversion angles greater than 10°. Isolated posterior labrum repair has a significant effect on posterior translation in glenoid retroversion angles of 5° and 10°. Bony correction of glenoid version may be considered to address posterior shoulder instability with retroversion > 15°.
