Minimally invasive percutaneous fixation of an Ideberg type III glenoid fracture: a case report

Glenoid fractures are rare and represent a therapeutic challenge, especially when involving the superior portion of the articular surface. The case of a 24-year-old female patient with an Ideberg type III glenoid fracture successfully treated by a fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous technique. This reproducible and straightforward method uses standard orthopedic instrumentation and avoids the morbidity associated with open surgery. At six-month follow-up, both clinical and radiological outcomes were favorable, suggesting this technique is a reliable alternative in selected, non-comminuted fracture patterns.
