No Bone? No Problem. How to Successfully Manage Glenohumeral Instability with Bone Loss
Gregory L. Cvetanovich MD; Julie Bishop MD; Peter N. Chalmers MD; Brandon J. Erickson MD; Ivan H. Wong MD
Course Description:
In 2015, JBJS published a Topics in Training article titled 'Impact of Fellowship Training in Clinical Practice of Orthopaedic Sports Medicine'. They surveyed sports medicine trained fellows who had been in practice an average of 9 years, asking in particular, their comfort level with a variety of surgical procedures. Responders displayed a high comfort level with all shoulder procedures, except bone loss instability. In this case, only 31.5% of responders felt 'very comfortable' treating this entity. Therefore, the goal of this Instructional Course is to provide an interactive case-based discussion of complex cases in glenohumeral instability with bone loss. A series of illustrative cases will be presented including history, exam findings, and imaging addressing glenoid, humeral, and bipolar bone loss. These cases will be discussed in a larger group. Brief discussion of evidence-based literature for the chosen treatment and technical tips and tricks will then be provided for the chosen treatment.
