Abstract
Background
Understanding glenoid morphometry is important in shoulder prosthetic replacement surgery. In total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the size of the implants has to be determined according to the morphometry of the shoulder. However, there has been no known data on glenoid morphometry in the Indonesian population.
Methods
Seventy-four computed tomography scans of asymptomatic shoulders were obtained from the medical databases of a third referral hospital in Jakarta. Mimics Research 21.0 was used to reconstruct 3D models of the scapula from the DICOM files. The morphometry parameters included were glenoid fossa height (GFH), maximum glenoid fossa width (MGW), glenoid width at center of the glenoid fossa (CGW), vertical distance between maximum width and center (VDMC), glenoid version angle (GVA), glenoid inclination (GI), glenopolar angle (GPA), glenoid vault depth (GVD), coracoid length (CL), coracoid midpoint length (CML), coracoid tip height (CTH) and width (CTW), and coracoid midpoint height (CMH) and width (CMW).
Results
Our study found the average Indonesian GFH was 30.24 mm, the MGW was 24.03 mm, the CGW was 22.46 mm, the VDMC was 3.67 mm, the GPA was 42.76°, the GVD 18.8 mm, the GVA was 2.39° retroverted, the GI was 3.15° superiorly inclined, the CL was 37.76 mm, the CML was 18.89 mm, the CTW was 13.31 mm, the CTH was 8.52 mm, the CMW was 14.21 mm, and the CMH was 10.46 mm. All parameters except VDMC, GVA, and GI showed significant differences between male and female subjects Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in dimension and orientation of the glenoid and coracoid between the right and left shoulder.
Conclusion
Our study showed a lower value of MGW, GFH, and GVD compared to other Asian ethnicities. These results may be helpful in designing smaller prostheses suitable for Indonesian glenoids.
