Diagnosis of Engaging Bipolar Bone Defects in the Shoulder Using 2-Dimensional Computed Tomography: A Cadaveric Study

Conclusion/Clinical Relevance:
Bipolar lesions at risk for engagement can be identified accurately using an ABER CT scan or by performing 2-dimensional measurements of the glenoid defect width and IAAA on conventional CT multiplane reformats. This information will be useful for surgical planning in the setting of bipolar bone defects before shoulder stabilization.
