The rate of total shoulder arthroplasty has increased over the last decade, with more total shoulder arthroplasties than hemiarthroplasties performed annually since 2006. Glenoid bone loss is a common problem in patients with arthritic shoulder conditions. This article reviews the anatomy and assessment of glenoid morphology, relevant imaging, glenoid-restoration principles, and current surgical treatment options to deal with glenoid bone loss in total shoulder arthroplasty. Treatment of glenoid bone loss is dependent on the degree of version correction that is required and consists of eccentric reaming, bone or polyethylene augmentation, or the use of reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
