Purpose:
To review how glenoid and humeral bone loss contribute to failure risk in glenohumeral instability.
Summary:
A useful shoulder-instability paper for highlighting why bone loss must be measured and addressed thoughtfully.
Key Takeaways:
• This review emphasizes how bipolar bone loss can drive recurrent failure in shoulder instability surgery.
• It is particularly helpful for surgical planning because it shifts attention from soft tissue alone to the osseous side of instability.
• The article supports more precise defect assessment and reconstruction strategy selection.
