Arthroscopic-Assisted Reduction and Percutaneous Cannulated Screw Fixation for Ideberg Type III Glenoid Fractures: A Minimum 2-year Follow-up of 18 Cases.

Traditionally, open reduction and internal fixation is an acceptable choice for treating displaced glenoid articular fracture. Considering some major complications associated with open surgery, however, surgeons have explored a less invasive way to achieve fixation. Purpose: This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the clinical results of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation for the treatment of Ideberg type III glenoid fractures.
