Bilateral Posterior Bone Graft Augmentation for Severe Glenoid Hypoplasia Without Instability: A Case Report

A 40-year-old man with shoulder pain secondary to severe bilateral glenoid hypoplasia without posterior instability was treated successfully with bilateral posterior glenoid bone graft augmentation.

While glenoid hypoplasia is associated with a variety of patient presentations, treatment of the stable and nonarthritic shoulder is rarely described. A posterior glenoid bone graft can be used to augment deficient posterior glenoids, increasing the articulating surface area, restoring function, and potentially facilitating future shoulder arthroplasty.
