In the presence of anterior glenoid bone loss
(aGBL), options for bony glenoid augmentation include Latarjet
procedures and free bone block transfers. Bone graft placement is
challenging, and malposition causes complications, such as
recurrent instability or osteoarthritis.
In conclusion, in the presence of aGBL, flush
bone block placement restores osteochondral glenohumeral stability,
while a 1-mm medialized bone block fails to increase stability.
Bone block lateralization of 1 mm provides higher stability but is
associated with humeral head lateralization.
