title: Arthroscopic treatment of an anterior glenoid fracture with a cannulated, headless screw and suture anchors: a case report.
abstract: Recently, anterior glenoid fractures have been treated arthroscopically with either suture anchors or screws. The keys to this arthroscopic procedure are to repair the labrum and to firmly fix the osseous fragment. We used suture anchors to repair the labrum and reduce the osseous fragment, and a cannulated headless screw to fix the osseous fragment. This is the first case report of arthroscopic treatment of an anterior glenoid fracture using suture anchors and a cannulated headless screw.
