Background:

Anterior glenohumeral instability often involves anterior inferior glenoid bone loss.
Accurate quantification of glenoid bone loss is essential for guiding surgical treatment decisions.
Current measurement methods are inconsistent and cannot be used interchangeably.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and validate a novel method for quantifying glenoid bone loss using a glenoid arc angle.
To establish a more comprehensive and easily measurable descriptor of glenoid defect size.

Main Methods:

A novel method using the glenoid arc angle to represent the surface area of the glenoid bony defect was developed.
The arc angle is measured using standard imaging software.
The method's independence from glenoid size and defect orientation was assessed.

Main Results:

The glenoid arc angle provides a measure corresponding to the surface area of the glenoid defect.
This measurement is easily obtainable with common imaging tools.
The method is independent of glenoid size and defect orientation, offering consistent quantification.

Conclusions:

The glenoid arc angle method offers a valuable tool for quantifying glenoid bone loss in anterior glenohumeral instability.
This approach may enhance preoperative planning and treatment selection for affected patients.
