Abstract

Ideberg type 3 glenoid fracture is a rare pattern of glenoid fracture that should be surgically managed in case of displacement. Surgical fixation of such fractures can be applied through an open or arthroscopic approach or under fluoroscopy guidance. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. We presented a 32-year-old man with a case of an Ideberg type 3 glenoid fracture that was effectively managed by open reduction and internal fixation using a transcoracoid screw. After 25 months of follow-up, the constant score was 85. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) were 31 and 15, respectively. He returned to his previous daily activities and was satisfied with the result. Also, we reviewed the previous reports from fractures that were treated using a similar technique.
