The purpose of this study was to assess glenoid morphology and evaluate the influence of acromial orientation in posterior glenoid erosion patterns by using 3-dimensional (3D) models. Computed tomographic (CT) shoulder scans from 3 study centers of patients awaiting rTSA between 2017 and 2018 were converted into 3D models and analyzed by 2 observers. Morphology, orientation and greatest depth of erosion, inclination, current retroversion and premorbid retroversion, surface areas of the glenoid, and external acromial orientation and posterior acromial slope were assessed. Measurements were compared between wear patterns, glenoid erosion entities, and genders. In the complete cohort of 68 patients (63.8 ± 10.0 years; 19 female, 49 male), a mean of 85.9° (±22.2°) was observed for the glenoid erosion orientation. Additionally, a further distinct clder. Three significantly differently oriented wear patterns (posterior-superior, posterior-central, and posterior-inferior) were distinguished in shoulders demonstrating posterior wear on axillary imaging. No significant differences between the observed erosion patterns or any relevant correlations were found regarding the orientation of the acromion.

Ultrasonographic imaging has been widely used as a diagnostic tool for rotator cuff tears. Several studies have explored the changes in rotator cuff tendon morphology after arthroscopic cuff repair; however, none have addressed
