title: Open reduction and internal fixation of a glenoid fossa fracture in a child: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Scapular fractures in children are rare injuries. The indications for the surgical treatment of glenoid fossa fractures in children are not well defined. We report on an eight-year-old child with a displaced glenoid fossa fracture requiring open reduction and internal fixation. A review of the literature and indications for the operative management of glenoid fossa fractures in children are discussed.
