Glenoid Bony Deficiency in Shoulder Arthroplasty, Management Options

It is often associated with a higher complication rate and inferior clinical outcomes following shoulder arthroplasty. This paper represents a narrative review for classification systems of wear patterns and management options to compensate for the bony loss. Additionally, the merits and outcomings of each option.
