The importance of glenoid version in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder

摘要

Background: Although increased retroversion of the glenoid has been shown to be an important factor in posterior instability of the shoulder, there are fewstudies reporting glenoid bone structure as a risk factor in anterior dislocation of the shoulder. This study aimed to compare glenoid version in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder and individuals in a control group with no shoulder problems before undergoing computed tomography and to assess a possible relationship between demographic characteristics and glenoid version angle.
