Fig. 2. Drawings show normal glenoid and labrum and mild, moderate, and
severe glenoid dysplasia. For normal glenoid and labrum, posterior glenoid is
characterized by pointed posteroinferior glenoid rim with normal-appearing
posterior labral tissue. Note symmetry of posterior glenoid with anterior
glenoid. In cases of mild glenoid dysplasia, mild rounding or truncation of
posteroinferior glenoid rim is seen on one or two sections cephalad to most
caudal section. Posterior labrum is normal in appearance or slightly thickened
inferiorly. In cases of moderate glenoid dysplasia, rounding-off and
truncation of posteroinferior glenoid rim are more marked, often with
posterior tilt or sloping of glenoid articular surface. This is associated
with abnormally thickened, low-signal soft tissue adjacent to, or replacing,
deficient portion of posterior glenoid rim. In severe cases of glenoid
dysplasia, rounding, truncation, and posterior sloping of glenoid are extreme.
This is associated with abnormally thickened, low-signal posterior soft
tissues adjacent to, or replacing, deficient portion of posterior glenoid
rim.
