Use of Preoperative Three‐Dimensional Computed Tomography to Quantify Glenoid Bone Loss in Shoulder Instability

Does preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography accurately quantify glenoid bone loss in patients with shoulder instability?

P

Population

Nonconsecutive patients with shoulder instability

I

Intervention

Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT)

O

Outcome

Quantification of glenoid bone losssurrogate

The study describes the development of diagnostic criteria using preoperative 3D CT to quantify glenoid bone loss in shoulder instability.

Level III, development of diagnostic criteria with universally applied reference (nonconsecutive patients).
