Complaint confirmed.Visual evaluation revealed the interior surface of the glenoid had scratches and wear marks.One corner appears to be heavily worn and is cracking and chipping.The outside surface (peg side), show no marks of damage.The most likely caused is the wear and tear between the glenoid and the humeral head.
