Clinical Validation of the Glenoid Track Concept in Anterior Glenohumeral Instability

Conclusions:
The application of the glenoid track concept to our cohort was superior to using glenoid bone loss alone with regard to predicting postoperative stability. This method of assessment is encouraged as a routine part of the preoperative evaluation of all patients under consideration for arthroscopic anterior stabilization.

Level of Evidence:
Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
