Fractures of the scapula are uncommon injuries that frequently present in the setting of high-energy trauma. Glenoid fractures are only one third of these injuries (1ndash;4). Most of them are minimally displaced and amenable to nonoperative treatment. Significantly displaced glenoid neck and glenoid fossa fractures that require operative intervention are exceedingly rare and together represent approximately 1 in every 3,000 fractures (5,6). This article reviews the available literature and describes the operative techniques used in the management of these uncommon and challenging injuries.
