CASE
We describe the case of a 33-year-old man who had a 1.5 × 2 cm chondral defect of the right glenoid that that was discovered on arthroscopy and was successfully treated with matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI). At 2 years postoperatively, the patient's Constant score and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score improved by 44 and 51.6 points, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Chondral lesions of the glenoid are rare and are a challenge to manage. This case represents a successful outcome with MACI, thus providing surgeons with an option for treating these difficult problems.
