1Hospital Beatriz Ângelo, Lisboa, Portugal.
Case:
We present a case of an intra-articular transverse glenoid fracture in an 11-year-old boy who fell while doing a handstand. An arthroscopic shoulder approach was used to reduce and fixate the fracture with 2 knotless anchors and a headless compression screw. The patient achieved full range of motion within 6 weeks and resumed sports activities at 2 months after the procedure.
Conclusion:
Fracture-dislocation of the glenoid fossa is an uncommon injury that can be effectively treated by arthroscopic fixation. To our knowledge, there are no reported cases of arthroscopic fixation of a glenoid fracture of a pediatric patient.

Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
