Fig. 1A —Three-dimensional surface renderings from CT scans for
analysis of glenoid parameters in 25-year-old man with normal glenoid from
control group. Largest length of glenoid joint surface was measured from top
to bottom (blue line) and in anteroposterior direction (red
line) in en face view of articular surface.

Fig. 1B —Three-dimensional surface renderings from CT scans for
analysis of glenoid parameters in 25-year-old man with normal glenoid from
control group. Area for measuring surface area was defined along outer bony
edge of glenoid rim.

Fig. 1C —Three-dimensional surface renderings from CT scans for
analysis of glenoid parameters in 25-year-old man with normal glenoid from
control group. For measurement of glenoid volume, articular body was aligned
parallel to joint surface and separated medially at distance of 10 mm (red
line) from joint edge.

Fig. 2A —Virtual glenoid rim reconstruction from CT scans in study
group after fracture creation. Image of right-sided glenoid (A) shows
defect in anterior edge. Contralateral glenoid (B) is intact. First,
intact glenoid is mirrored vertically. Next, joint areas of two glenoid bodies
are aligned and projected into each other (C). In this way former
glenoid rim defect is filled with intact contralateral side (C and
D). To determine precision of reconstruction procedure (E),
reconstructed glenoid (blue and red) was superimposed on
prefracture image (yellow).

Fig. 3A —Virtual created model of bony defect (missing bone fragment)
derived from CT scans in study group. After superimposition of fractured with
intact contralateral glenoid, resulting fragment can be separated and
measured. Lateral view (en face) (A), posterior view
