RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Imaging techniques such as X-rays and 3D Computed Tomography (CT) are used to diagnose and evaluate a patient's shoulder before and after surgery. Identifying the kind, location, and severity of a shoulder fracture helps surgeons choose the right treatment and surgery. OBJECTIVES: The study examines the effectiveness of small incision reduction and superior closure pinning in treating Ideberg type III glenoid fractures identified by X-ray and CT scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From October 2017 to June 2022, 40 patients with Ideberg type III glenoid fractures underwent mini-incision reduction and superior closed pinning fixation using the Anterior (AA) and Posterior (PA) approaches. Pre- and post-surgery shoulder scores and imaging data were analyzed. Outpatient review and shoulder anteroposterior radiographs were collected at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. We assessed shoulder joint function using the American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) shoulder score, VAS score, Constant-Murley Shoulder Outcome (Constant) score, and DASH score. RESULTS: A total of 40 patients were monitored for 14-16 months, averaging 15.2 ± 0.3 months. All fractures were healed between 14-25 weeks from X-rays, averaging 17.6 ± 5.4 weeks. Both the AA and PA groups had similar shoulder score changes. However, the AA group did better. In all cases, ASES shoulder scores were outstanding at 80%. Radiographs demonstratedno traumatic arthritis or internal fixation failure consequences like screw loosening or breakage. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that Ideberg type III glenoid fracture reduction with an anterior small incision and superior closed pinning hollow lag screw internal fixation could be successful.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of posterior axillary approach internal fixation for Ideberg â a andâ ¡ glenoid fractures. METHODS: From December 2018 to September 2021, 9 patients with lower part of glenoid fractures were treated by posterior axillary approach, including 3 males and 6 females, aged from 50 to 78 years old. All the fractures were closed fractures. According to Ideberg type of scapular glenoid fracture was type â a in 6 cases and type â ¡ in 3 cases. AP and lateral X-ray films of scapula were taken at 6, 12 weeks and 6 and 12 months postoperatively.

The anatomy of the shoulder joint is complex. Glenoid fractures, intra-articular fractures of the shoulder, are relatively rare and often accompanied by serious injury. At present, there has been no consensus on the optimal strategies for their treatment. Insufficient knowledge and improper treatment of the surgeons may seriously affect the shoulder function of the patients to harm their quality of life. Therefore, proper handling of such fractures is a major challenge in clinic. In recent years when high-energy injuries are increasing and functional recovery after shoulder fracture is emphasized by more and more patients, great efforts have been put into the research into such fractures by orthopedic surgeons. This reviews expounds on the anatomy, diagnosis, classification and treatment of glenoid fractures, aiming to provide useful reference for the orthopaedic surgeons who deal with glenoid fractures.
RESUMEN
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of the scapular glenoid fractures by a new surgical approach (Axillary approach) through follow-up studies. Method: We retrospectively analyzed the prospectively collected data from 11cases of glenoid fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation through a Axillary approach approach between July 2019 and October 2020. All patients were required to conform to regular follow up postoperatively. X-ray film and CT scan was applied to all cases. The Constant score system, the UCLA score system and DASH score system were used to evaluate functional results. Results: All patients achieved bone union. At the final follow-up, the mean Constant score was 92.5 ± 3.0 (range 85-97) points and the mean UCLA score was 33.5 ± 1.6 (range 31-36) points. According to the UCLA score system, two patients achieved excellent results and one patients had good results. The mean DASH scores were 7.7 ± 3.2 (range 4-12). Compared with the preoperative functional score, it was significantly improved (P < 0.01). Conclusions: The axillary approach as a new method for scapular glenoid fractures (especially the fracture of the lower half of the scapular glenoid) has achieved desired results, and it can provide new options for clinical treatment.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of the posterior axillary approach combined with the deltoid pectoralis major approach in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture combined with lower glenoid fracture.Methods:From July 2019 to September 2021, 7 patients were treated at Department of Traumatic Othopeadics, The Sixth Hospital of Ningbo for proximal humeral fracture combined with lower glenoid fracture by internal fixation via the posterior axillary approach combined with the deltoid pectoralis major approach. They were 2 males and 5 females, aged from 51 to 78 years (average, 62.9 years). All fractures were closed ones. According to the Neer classification for the proximal humeral fractures, there were one case of type Ⅱ, one case of type Ⅲ, 3 cases of type Ⅳ and 2 cases of type Ⅵ. According to the Ideberg classification for the glenoid fractures, 5 cases were type Ⅰ and 2 cases type Ⅱ. The anteroposterior, lateral and axillary X-ray films of the affected shoulder were taken at 6 and 12 weeks, and 6 and 12 months after operation to follow up fracture healing and occurrence of complications. The Constant-Murley shoulder joint scores and the Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores for the upper limb dysfunction were recorded at the last follow-up for all patients.Results:All the 7 patients were followed up for 8 to 15 months (mean, 11.9 months). Bone union was achieved after an average of 4.3 months (from 3 to 6 months) in all patients. None of the functional activities was affected in all by postoperative shoulder joint instability, incision infection or axillary scar hyperplasia. At the last follow-up, their Constant-Murley scores averaged 83.4 points (from 55 to 92 points), and their DASH scores 13.5 points (from 4.2 to 33.3 points).Conclusion:In the treatment of proximal humeral fracture combined with lower glenoid fracture, the posterior axillary approach combined with the deltoid pectoralis major approach can lead to fine early curative efficacy due to their advantageous possibilities to allow for easy fracture reduction, reliable fixation and early rehabilitation.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the clinical features and treatment of anterior shoulder dislocation complicated with fractures of glenoid and greater tuberosity (GT).Methods:From December 2013 to October 2019, 26 patients (27 shoulders) were treated at Department of Upper Limb, Sichuan Provincial Orthopaedic Hospital by arthroscopy or open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). They were 13 males and 13 females with a mean age of 49.1 years (range, from 22 to 71 years). By the Goss-Ideberg classification for glenoid fractures, there were 21 cases of type Ⅰa and 6 cases of type Ⅱ; by the Mutch classification for GT fractures, there were 3 cases of depression type, 6 cases of avulsion type and 18 cases of split type. At the last follow-up, visual analogue scale (VAS), Constant-Murley and American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores were used to evaluate the pain and function of the shoulder and the Rowe scores to assess shoulder stability.Results:In this cohort, the avulsion type accounted for 66.7% (18/27) of the GT fractures and the type of anterior glenoid rim for 77.8% (21/27) of the glenoid fractures. All the 26 patients (27 shoulders) were followed up for a mean period of 18.3 months (range, from 12 to 47 months). All fractures united after 6 to 17 weeks (mean, 11.6 weeks). At the last follow-up, anterior flexion and lifting averaged 155.6°, lateral external rotation 43.6°, and the internal rotation thumb touching the spinous process levels from L4 to T8. At the last follow-up, the Constant-Murley scores averaged 89.2, the ASES scores 88.9, the Rowe scores 94.5, and the VAS scores 0.3.Conclusions:In anterior shoulder dislocation complicated with fractures of glenoid and GT, the GT fractures are mainly the split type and the glenoid fractures mainly the type of anterior glenoid rim. Arthroscopy or ORIF can be used to repair rotator cuff tears and restore shoulder stability, leading to significantly improved shoulder function and satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.
