Congenital glenoid dysplasia

Abstract

Glenoid dysplasia is an anomaly of the scapula characterized by underdevelopment of the bony glenoid and adjacent part of the scapular neck which may be seen as a primary isolated condition, in patients with multiple anomalies or ill-defined syndromes, in well-described syndromes, in mucopolysaccharidoses and related conditions, and in certain skeletal dysplasias. The general subject of glenoid dysplasia is reviewed with reference to descriptions in the literature and personal observations.
