RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Bone augmentation techniques show a relatively high complication rate, which might be due to graft non-union and resorption. It is unclear which augmentation techniques demonstrate the highest amount of non-union and resorption and whether this leads to worse clinical or functional outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this review was (i) to compare non-union and resorption rates between surgical approaches, procedures, graft types, donor sites and fixation methods regarding clinical and functional outcomes and (ii) determine whether high non-union or resorption rates lead to less favorable clinical or functional outcomes. METHODS: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statements were followed. PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid) and Cochrane Library were searched on December 15th 2021 for studies examining bone graft non-union or resorption using radiograph or CT following glenoid augmentation to treat anterior shoulder dislocation. RESULTS: The search resulted in 103 inclusions, comprising 5,128 glenoid augmentations. When comparing pooled proportions of bony union, graft fracture rate, hardware failure rate, recurrence rate, return to sports and Rowe score, most results were similar between approaches, procedures, graft types, donor sites and fixation methods. High resorption rates were seen for allograft augmentation (74.3; 95% CI: 39.8-92.7) compared to autograft augmentation (15.5; 95% CI 10.1-23.2), but this was not associated with higher recurrence rates or worse clinical outcomes. Meta-analyses (8 studies; 494 patients) demonstrated no difference in incomplete and complete non-union rates between arthroscopic and open procedures; however, both analyses showed substantial heterogeneity. Higher partial resorption rates were observed on CT (48.0; 95% CI 43.3-52.7) compared to radiograph (14.1; 95% CI 10.9-18.1). Three studies comprising 267 shoulders demonstrated a higher rate of non-union and recurrence in smokers, whereas one study comprising 38 shoulders did not. CONCLUSION: Non-union and resorption rates were similar among procedures, grafts and fixation methods. Higher resorption rates were observed in allografts, but this was not associated with higher recurrence rates or worse clinical outcomes. Pooling data demonstrated substantial heterogeneity and definitions varied among studies, warranting more standardized measuring. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of glenoid bone loss-measuring methods and assess the influence of the imaging modality on the accuracy of the measurement methods. METHODS: A literature search was performed in the PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, and Cochrane databases from 1994 to June 11, 2019. The guidelines and algorithm of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) were used. Included for analysis were articles reporting the accuracy of glenoid bone loss-measuring methods in patients with anterior shoulder instability by comparing an index test and a reference test. Furthermore, articles were included if anterior glenoid bone loss was quantified using a ruler during arthroscopy or by measurements on plain radiograph(s), computed tomography (CT) images, or magnetic resonance images in living humans. The risk of bias was determined using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. RESULTS: Twenty-one studies were included, showing 17 different methods. Three studies reported on the accuracy of methods performed on 3-dimensional CT. Two studies determined the accuracy of glenoid bone loss-measuring methods performed on radiography by comparing them with methods performed on 3-dimensional CT. Six studies determined the accuracy of methods performed using imaging modalities with an arthroscopic method as the reference. Eight studies reported on the influence of the imaging modality on the accuracy of the methods. There was no consensus regarding the gold standard. Because of the heterogeneity of the data, a quantitative analysis was not feasible. CONCLUSIONS: Consensus regarding the gold standard in measuring glenoid bone loss is lacking. The use of heterogeneous data and varying methods contributes to differences in the gold standard, and accuracy therefore cannot be determined. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review of Level II, III, and IV studies.
