Abstract
Transverse glenoid fractures with a cranial coracoglenoidal fragment (Ideberg type III) can lead to detrimental post-traumatic sequelae. Open surgery requires an extensive surgical approach. Arthroscopic procedures are highly challenging with respect to both fracture reduction and screw osteosynthesis. We present a reproducible arthroscopic technique for a dislocated transverse glenoid fracture using 5 standard portals. Grasping the coracoid with a small, serrated reduction clamp through the anterior portal allows simple and sufficient reduction. Safe screw osteosynthesis can then be performed from cranially without the need to create a Neviaser portal.
