Open reduction and internal fixation of a glenoid fossa fracture in a child: a case report and review of the literature.
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.
