Arthroscopic Reduction and Stable Fixation of an Anterior Glenoid Fracture With 4 Buttons

An arthroscopic technique for the reduction and stable fixation of an articular glenoid fracture with a 2-button compression system, originally designed for the treatment of shoulder instability with bone deficiency in the anterior glenoid, is presented. This technique allows direct visualization of...

Description
Summary:An arthroscopic technique for the reduction and stable fixation of an articular glenoid fracture with a 2-button compression system, originally designed for the treatment of shoulder instability with bone deficiency in the anterior glenoid, is presented. This technique allows direct visualization of the joint, reduction of the fracture, precise placement of the buttons according to the fracture line, and stable fixation. It is a safe and reproducible technique, using the standard shoulder arthroscopy portals.
