Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although scapular morphology contributes to glenohumeral osteoarthritis and rotator cuff disease, its role in traumatic glenohumeral instability remains unknown. We hypothesized that coracoacromial and glenoid morphology would differ between healthy subjects and patients with recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability. METHODS: Computed tomography scans of 31 cadaveric control scapulae and 54 scapulae of patients with recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability and Hill-Sachs lesions were 3-dimensionally reconstructed. Statistical shape modeling identified the modes of variation between the scapulae of both groups. Corresponding measurements quantified these modes in relation to the glenoid center (linear offset measures), defined by the best-fit circle of the inferior glenoid, or the glenoid center plane (angles), which bisects the glenoid longitudinally. Distances were normalized for glenoid size. RESULTS: Compared with controls, the unstable coracoids were shorter (P = .004), with a more superior and medial offset of the tip (mean difference [MD], 7 and 3 mm, respectively; P < .001) and an origin closer to the 12-o'clock position (MD, 6°; P < .001). The unstable scapular spines originated closer to the 9-o'clock position (MD, 4°; P = .012), and the unstable acromions were more vertically oriented (MD, 6°; P < .001). The unstable glenoids had an increased height-width index (MD, 0.04; P = .021), had a flatter anterior-posterior radius of curvature (MD, 77 mm; P < .001), and were more anteriorly tilted (MD, 5°; P = .005). CONCLUSIONS: Coracoacromial and glenoid anatomy differs between individuals with and without recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability. This pathologic anatomy is not addressed by current soft-tissue stabilization procedures and may contribute to instability recurrence.
