Humeral Head Diameter-to-Glenoid Surface Area Ratio as a Morphometric Risk Factor for Posterior Labral Tears: A Retrospective Computed Tomography Analysis
The HH/GA ratio is moderately but significantly associated with posterior labral tears and may reflect an underlying morphometric predisposition. While not diagnostic on its own, it may serve as an adjunctive quantitative parameter during the evaluation of patients at risk for posterior shoulder instability. Larger prospective studies are needed for external validation.
