Purpose: The authors used arthroscopy-assisted percutaneous reduction and cannulated screw fixation rather? than conventional arthrotomy for displaced glenoid fracture. Materials and Methods: We used arthroscopy assisted reduction and screw fixation for a 66 year old man who had a clavicle fracture, a displaced glenoid fracture and a scapula fracture. Results: At 9 months postoperatively, the patient had recovered full range of motion and was not inconvenienced by the surgery. Removal of the implant was done 12 months post-operatively under general anesthesia. Conclusion: The advantages of arthroscopy-assisted percutaneous screw fixation are less pain and less bleeding, shorter hospital stay and earlier rehabilitation. Arthroscopic percutaneous screw fixation for a displaced glenoid fracture seems to be a good alternative treatment method.

We describe in this report the accurate reduction of a transverse displaced glenoid fracture through arthroscopic control . We used the lateral and superior (Neviaser portal) portal of the arthroscopic surgery in the shoulder joint for the U 4.0-mm titanium cannulated cancellous screw fixation. The advantages of this treatment are excellent intra-articular visualiBation, decreased soft tissue dissection ,less blood loss, shortened postoperative recovery and early ROM exercise. There(ore, we report the method of operation and the cases .

Purpose: To evaluate the radiographic results of the treatment for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fracture with 2 cannulated screws. Materials and Methods: Thirty-four cases of Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fracture were available. Follow-up averaged 8 months (6-25 months). The medial clear space for lateral displacement of talus, talo-crural angle for lateral malleolar shortening, and malunion evidence of lateral malleolar fracture were observed. Results: Medial clear space was from 2mm to 4mm in 34 cases. Talo-crural angle was from $73^{\circ}$ to $82.5^{\circ}$ in 33 cases. One case was complicated with malunion of lateral malleolus. But, we found the same condition in the immediate post- operative radiographic film. Conclusion: We believe that the 2 cannulated screws fixation for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar simple fractures is an excellent treatment method.
