Sex and side differences of three-dimensional Glenoid anthropometric parameters in a normal Turkish population

Abstract

Aim: Due to anatomical differences, current baseplate designs may lead to incompatibilities in reverse shoulder arthroplasty indifferent populations. We hypothesized that glenoid anthropometric parameters in Turkish subjects would be different from that inother populations.Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional morphology of 200 healthy Turkish shoulders (100 male and 100 females, 93 left and 107right shoulders) was evaluated. Glenoid height, width, version, inclination, circumference, and surface area; glenoid depth, scapularneck length, and scapular neck angle were measured. Sex and side differences were assessed. The correlation between glenoidmorphologic parameters and subject height was assessed. The height corresponding to a 25-mm glenoid width was predicted.Results: There was a significant difference between male and female subjects regarding glenoid height, width, version, depth,circumference, surface area, and patient height (p
