Purpose To evaluate the glenoid shape and to evaluate if the contralateral glenoid can be used as size reference. Methods Two independent investigators prospectively analysed shoulder computer-tomographies of 90 patients. The glenoids were positioned in a true “en face” view and evaluated for size a...
