Fractures of the glenoid cavity that are substantially displaced are rare. A patient with shoulder pain and dysfunction caused by a severely malunited fracture of the glenoid cavity was treated successfully with corrective osteotomy and bone grafting. Functional results 2 years after surgery were satisfactory, and radiographs showed no evidence of degenerative change. Although appropriate initial management should prevent the development of symptomatic malunion, results of the current study suggest that later reconstruction of the glenoid cavity restores satisfactory function, even if so much time has elapsed that glenoid osteotomy must be done to achieve reduction. |
