Age-dependent variation of glenohumeral anatomy: a radiological study

Abstract: Increased sizes of humeral head and glenoid surface are present in older patients without signs of osteoarthritis. Moreover, in patients with increased age more glenoid inclination as well as an increased glenoid to head ratio was revealed. These age-dependent anatomical parameters should be considered during planning of operative procedures of the shoulder joint.

“…e average age of the participants in our study was 40, and we detected a direct correlation between age and the glenoid size. In the literature, as pointed out by Matsuki et al and Bockmann et al, we excluded the osteopathic cases from our study to avoid the inclusion of cases with arthrosis [21,23]. Still, the correlation detected may be due to overlooked small osteophytes or the subchondral changes in the early period.…”

“…Additionally, we did not consider age, dominance, weight, height or nutritional status. The age-dependent variation of glenohumeral anatomy in the non-degenerated shoulder is largely unknown (Bockmann et al, 2016). In our sample the oldest patient is 53 years old, so this factor is probably not related to the results.…”

“…Knowles et al (2016) determined the width of the humeral head to be 47.1 mm in their study which included 50 individuals in Canada. In contrast, Bockmann et al (2016) determined the width of humeral head to be 43 mm in their study of 210 patients in Germany. Harrold & Wigderowitz (2013) determined the width of humeral head to be 48.8 mm in their study of 24 bone samples (14 female and 10 male) in Scotland.…”

“…This is increasingly true as the complexity of surgical procedures and applications, such as arthroscopy and arthroplasty, has increased. Physicians must be familiar with the anatomy of the region (Bockmann et al, 2016). In addition, knowing the morphometric differences which depend on age, sex and ethnicity is necessary for the nearest anatomical match for implant applications in order to most closely match the pre-injury joint (Cabezas et al, 2016).…”
