Accuracy and reliability of imaging modalities for studying bipolar bone loss in anterior shoulder instability: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Recurrent shoulder instability, a common musculoskeletal disorder, often involves glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs lesions. However, the optimal imaging modality for accurately and reliably quantifying bipolar bone loss remains uncertain. This systematic review aims to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of various imaging modalities in assessing bipolar bone loss in anterior shoulder instability.

Methods

Major electronic databases were searched for English-language studies reporting the measurement of glenoid track width and/or determination of on/off track HSL through imaging. Studies reporting statistical measures such as area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, NPV, intraobserver reliability and interobserver reliability were i
