title: Bone grafting for glenoid bone deficiencies in shoulder arthritis: a review.
abstract: Bone loss in the glenoid in the face of shoulder arthritis can be managed in selected cases with bone grafting. This article reviews the literature and uses this clinical experience to make recommendations for the surgical management of glenoid bone loss in cases of osteopenia, dysplasia, bone loss created by the arthritis, and loss that occurs in the glenoid related to failed shoulder arthroplasty.
