Statistical shape models that estimate native glenoid width based on glenoid height demonstrate unacceptable measurement errors, despite a high correlation. Therefore, great caution is advised when using these models to determine glenoid bone loss percentage. To minimize errors caused by morphologic differences, preference goes to methods that use the contralateral side as reference.
