Glenoid bone grafting

Glenoid bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to repair or rebuild a damaged or missing part of the shoulder socket (glenoid). It involves transferring healthy bone tissue, often from another part of the body or a donor, to the glenoid to restore its shape and stability. This helps prevent shoulder dislocations and relieves pain caused by bone loss or injury. The procedure aims to create a secure socket environment, improving shoulder function and reducing the risk of future dislocations. It is typically performed when conservative treatments are insufficient to resolve shoulder instability.
