Description

Giles et al developed equations for estimating glenoid bone width from computed tomography (CT) measurement of glenoid height. A loss of > 25% in glenoid width is associated with poor outcomes following arthroscopic soft tissue reconstruction of anterior shoulder instability.

Parameters:

(1) gender

(2) glenoid bone height in mm

 

glenoid width in males in mm =

= (0.667 * (glenoid height in mm)) + 5

 

glenoid width in females in mm =

= (0.667 * (glenoid height in mm)) + 3

 

observed vs predicted glenoid bone width =

= (observed) / (predicted) * 100%

 

Performance:

• The intraclass correlation coefficient with MRI prediction was 0.818.

• The root mean squared error was 1.2 mm.
