We report a patient with an anterior dislocation of the shoulder with uncommon bucket handle type fracture of the anterior glenoid fossa with intact glenoid labrum. The fracture fragment was displaced into the posterior aspect of the glenohumeral joint resulting in prevention of reduction of the shoulder. Excellent fixation was obtained with suture anchors and bioabsorbable interfragmentary screws. This allowed stable range of motion exercises, optimizing the patient's functional outcome.

Arthroscopy is recognized as an important adjunct in treatment of intra-articular fractures. The author reports on successful treatment of a displaced transverse glenoid cavity fracture, reduced and fixed with arthroscopic assist, using two cannulated screws perpendicular to the fracture surface, in a patient with frail chest. One screw passed through the Neviaser portal, and the other screw passed through the base of the coracoid process. Arthroscopy assisted reduction and 2 cannulated screw fixation through the Neviaser portal and coracoid base appears to be a good method for treatment of transverse glenoid fractures.

A 13-year-old male was diagnosed with a glenoid fracture following direct shoulder trauma, for which surgical treatment was considered. After referral to a center for pediatric orthopedic care, physical examination, contralateral shoulder X-ray, and detailed computed tomography examination ruled out the presence of fracture; these findings were later confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Normal ossification patterns in the adolescent shoulder may simulate a fracture in traumatic settings. To accurately diagnose and manage pediatric shoulder pathology, orthopedic surgeons must be aware of the normal anatomy of the growing shoulder, its secondary ossification centers, and growth plates.

Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fractures, totaling 4% to 5% of all fractures. Here, we present the case of a 39-year-old man with a dislocated four-part fracture of the proximal humerus with a huge bony Bankart lesion. Preoperatively, the bony Bankart lesion of the glenoid was not visualized on computed tomography scans or magnetic resonance imaging because the fracture of the proximal humerus was comminuted, displaced, and complex. It was planned for only the humerus fracture to be treated by open reduction and internal fixation using a locking plate. However, a fractured fragment remained under the scapula after reduction of the dislocated humeral head. This was mistaken for a dislocated bone fragment of the greater tuberosity and repositioning was attempted. After failure, visual confirmation showed that the bone fragment was a piece of the glenoid. After reduction and fixation of this glenoid part with suture anchors, we acquired a well-reduced fluoroscopic image. Given this case of complex proximal humerus fracture, a glenoid fracture such as a bony Bankart lesion should be considered preoperatively and intraoperatively in such cases.

목적: 저자들은 관절와 골절의 치료에 있어 고식적인 관절 절개술이 아닌 관절경을 이용한 골절의 정복 및 내 고정한 증례를 보고 하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 66세의 남자로 좌측 견관절의 쇄골 골절 및 관절와의 전위된 횡 골절 및 견갑골 골절이 있는 환자였으며 관절경을 이용하여 골절을 정복하고 유경나사로 내 고정 하였다. 결과: 술 후 9개월 째 좌측 견관절의 운동 범위는 완전히 회복 되었으며 환자는 일상 생활에 불편감이 거의 없었다. 술 후 12개월째 전신 마취 하 내 고정물의 제거 술을 시행 하였다. 결론: 관절경을 이용한 수술은 고식적인 수술보다 적은 통증, 적은 출혈량, 술 후 입원기간의 단축 및 조기 관절 운동이 가능하다는 장점이 있었고 술 후 견관절 운동 범위에서도 우수한 결과를 보였으며 임상적 평가에서도 만족스러운 결과를 보였다.

Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation combined with scapular fracture in elderly patients is relatively rare. In this case, a patient visited Emergency Room of Dong-A University Hospital for shoulder pain after falling off a ladder. Radiographs demonstrated anterior shoulder dislocation with displaced Ideberg type IIb scapula (glenoid fossa) fracture combined with a large rotator cuff tear on magnetic resonance imaging. We performed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, but a large fragment in the inferior glenoid was left untreated. At the 1 year follow-up visit, the pain visual analogue scale of the patient was 2, the American Shoulder and Elbow Society score was 88 and the patient had gained nearly full range of motion without any apprehension.

목적: 견갑골 전방 관절와 분쇄 골절에 대해 관절경하 정복 및 AO 무두 압박 나사를 이용하여 골편을 고정한 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 31세 남자로 내원 2주 전 추락 후 발생한 좌측 견관절의 전방 관절와 분쇄 골절에 대하여 관절경하에서 골절을 정복한 후, 표준 전상방 삽입구를 통해 1.1 mm K 강선을 가이드핀으로 삽입하고 AO 무두 압박 나사로 골편을 고정하였다. 결과: 수술 후 12개월째 견관절의 운동 범위는 정상 범위로 회복 되었으며, 골절은 유합을 얻었고 일상 생활에 불편감은 없었다. 결론: AO 무두 압박 나사는 나사의 길이가 다양하여 작은 관절와 골편에 사용하기 적합하고, 가이드 핀의 길이가 상대적으로 짧으나 1.1 mm K 강선으로 대체가 가능하며, 나사 돌리개 (screw driver)나 천공기 (drill bit) 등의 동반 기구의 길이가 길어 비교적 깊은 위치의 견갑과 골절의 고정에 사용하기 편리하여 관절경적 고정술 시 유용하게 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background: We analyzed the angle between the glenoid anterior surface and glenoid axis, the range of the glenoid apex and the location of the glenoid apex for assistance during shoulder surgery. Methods: Sixty-two patients underwent a computed tomography of the shoulder with a proximal humerus fracture. In the range of the glenoid apex, the ratios of the distribution of triangles with a Constant anterior and posterior area of the glenoid were measured. The location of glenoid apex was confirmed as the percentage of the position with respect to the upper part of the glenoid with the center of the part, analyzed the angle between the glenoid anterior surface and glenoid axis was measured. Results: The angle between the glenoid anterior surface and glenoid axis was $19.80^{\circ}{\pm}3.88^{\circ}$. The location of the glenoid apex is $60.36%{\pm}9.31%$, with the upper end of the glenoid as the reference. The range of the glenoid apex was $21.16%{\pm}4.98%$. When the height of the glenoid becomes smaller, the range of the glenoid apex tends to become larger (p=0.001) and the range of the glenoid apex becomes wider (p=0.001) as the glenoid width narrows. Conclusions: We believe the anatomical measurements of the glenoid will be helpful for a more accurate insertion in glenoid component. It is thought that more accurate insertion is possible if we can set other anatomical measurements using computed tomography imaging of the glenoid which can develop into the study of other anatomical measurements.

목적: 견갑골 관절와 골절의 치료로 관혈적 수술을 시행했던 예들을 후향적으로 분석하여 치료 결과에 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 3월부터 2004년 2월까지 관혈적 정복술을 시행한 관절와 골절 9예를 대상으로 하였다. 골절의 분류는 변형 Ideberg씨 분류를 이용하였으며 제 1형이 1예, 2형 3예, 3형 2예, 5형 1예, 6형 2예였다. 정복에 사용된 내고정물은 재건 금속판 6예, 소형 금속판 1예, 1/3 원통형 금속판 3예, 소형 나사 3예, 유관 나사 1예였다. 수술 후 견관절의 기능 평가는 Constant score 및 Adam의 기능 평가 방법을 이용하였다. 결과: 수술 후 평균 7주에 골유합 소견을 보였다. 임상적 평가에서 우수가 4예, 양호가 3예, 보통이 2예 였다. 수술 후 합병증으로 나사의 관절와 침범, 관절와 하방에 안정성에 지장이 없는 골소실이 각각 1예가 있었다. 결론: 관절의 불안정성이 있거나 골편의 전위가 큰 관절와 골절의 경우에 수술적인 치료로 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었고 골절 양상이 분쇄가 심할수록 나쁜 결과를 보였다.

Background: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for glenoid fractures with scapular extension, and investigate the radiologic and clinical benefits from the results. Methods: We evaluated patients treated with arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for glenoid fractures with scapular extension from November 2008 to September 2015. Fractures with displacement exceeding one-fourth of the anterior-articular surface or more than one-third of the posterior-articular surface in radiographic images were treated by surgery. Clinical assessment was conducted based on range of motion, Rowe score, and Constant score of injured arm and uninjured arm at last follow-up. Results: Fifteen patients with Ideberg classification grade III, IV, and V glenoid fracture who underwent arthroscopic-assisted reduction using percutaneous screw fixation were retrospectively enrolled. There were no differences in clinical outcomes at final follow-up compared to uninjured arm. Bone union was seen in all cases within five months, and the average time to bone union was 15.2 weeks. Ankylosis in one case was observed as a postoperative complication, but the symptoms improved in response to physical therapy for six months. There was no failure of fixation and neurovascular complication. Conclusions: We identified acceptable results upon radiological and clinical assessment for the arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous fixation. For this reason, we believe the method is favorable for the treatment of Ideberg type III, IV, and V glenoid fractures. Restoration of the articular surface is considered to be more important than reduction of fractures reduction of the scapula body.
