Abstract

Glenohumeral bone defects are a typical finding in shoulder dislocation and they are intensely connected with the reappearance of dislocation and failure following arthroscopic Bankart repair. Advanced imaging assessment should subsequently be performed in order to recognize, quantify and portray the bone defects. Despite the fact that magnetic resonance has significant value in the appraisal of the glenoid labrum and rotator cuff, computed tomography scan is the examination of choice for studying bone defects. The imaging methodology selected for shoulder dislocation relies upon its accessibility and the treatment plan for a specific patient. Radiography is economical and is promptly accessible. It ought to be executed as the underlying imaging examination in patients giving a clinical issue identified with the shoulder. It complements the other advanced methods and gives an outline of the bony components of the shoulder joint. In few patients, radiography obviates additional imaging.
