Glenoid hypoplasia, also known as glenoid dysplasia and dysplasia of the scapular neck, is a failure of ossification of the posteroinferior two-thirds of the glenoid. Once thought to be a rare condition, more recent studies have shown that the incidence of glenoid hypoplasia ranges from 18% to 35%. This case report and literature review highlights the typical clinical presentation, the radiologic findings, and the management options for patients with glenoid hypoplasia.
