Glenoid Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation of glenoid morphology and bone stock is essential for shoulder arthroplasty planning and assessment of glenohumeral pathology. The following standardized methods provide reproducible measurements for clinical decision-making.

Glenoid Morphology

Walch classification system for evaluating glenoid wear patterns and posterior subluxation in shoulder arthritis

Glenoid Bone Stock

Pleoglenoid line method for quantitative assessment of glenoid bone loss and version

Humeral Head Position

Medialisation and subluxation index measurements for evaluating glenohumeral relationships

Clinical Applications

These assessment methods are particularly valuable in:
  • Pre-operative planning for shoulder arthroplasty
  • Evaluation of glenohumeral arthritis progression
  • Assessment of instability patterns
  • Post-operative monitoring
