Glenoidformen

Glenoidformen refers to abnormalities or deformities of the glenoid cavity, which is the socket of the shoulder joint formed by the scapula. These conditions can affect the stability and function of the shoulder. Common glenoidformen include hypoplasia, where the glenoid is smaller than normal, and hyperplasia, where it is enlarged. Other forms can involve irregular shapes, erosions, or the presence of loose bodies within the joint. These deformities can arise from congenital factors, trauma, or degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis. Symptoms may include pain, clicking sensations, limited range of motion, and a feeling of instability or dislocation. Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI. Treatment strategies vary depending on the specific glenoidformen and the severity of symptoms, and may range from conservative measures like physical therapy and pain management to surgical interventions aimed at restoring joint congruity and stability.
