Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. 2000;120(5-6):349-51. doi: 10.1007/s004020050481.

Abstract

Glenoid dysplasia is a rare abnormality of the shoulder. We report glenoid dysplasia in two consecutive generations: a boy and his father. Both suffered recurrent shoulder dislocations, and radiological examination revealed bilateral glenoid dysplasia. Our cases confirm dominant inheritance of this osseous malformation.
