Arthroscopy-assisted reduction and percutaneous fixation of a multiple glenoid fracture

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2003 Mar;11(2):112-5. doi: 10.1007/s00167-002-0340-9. Epub 2003 Jan 25.

Abstract

Glenoid fractures are rare. The traditional method for treating them is open reduction and internal fixation in arthrotomy. Arthroscopic reduction with percutaneous fixation is used in selected fractures (of tibial plateau, ankle, distal radius). We describe the surgical technique adopted to treat a multiple, Y-shaped articular glenoid fracture using arthroscopy and percutaneous fixation.
