Subcritical shoulder bone loss - how to manage?

In the past ten years, there has been a growing emphasis on addressing glenoid bone loss in individuals experiencing recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Considerable attention has been devoted to the development of evidence-based treatment strategies, which hinge on the extent and location of the bone loss. The assessment of what qualifies as "critical" versus "subcritical" loss has undergone thorough scrutiny, given its profound implications for treatment decisions. The definition of subcritical bone loss has experienced several revisions but is generally acknowledged to fall within the range of 10% to 20%. Controversies abound regarding the most suitable approach for managing patients facing this particular scenario. For those seeking a deeper understanding of this subject, we invite you to participate in this webinar, where further insights will be shared.
