Clinical Effect of the Axillary Approach to Glenoid Fractures

Summary

Glenoid fractures result in glenohumeral post-trauma arthritis and instability. Operative treatment is indicated for severe fractures. The traditional deltopectoral approach, which requires detachment of the subscapularis, has many drawbacks, including loss of external rotation and suboptimal fixation. Arthroscopic techniques also cannot allow anatomic reduction and biomechanical stability for large fractures. We describe an alternative approach that enters from the axilla through the interval between the rotator cuff and the inferior glenoid, neck and lateral border of the scapula without detachment of the rotator cuff.

Conditions

  • Fracture; Glenoid

Interventions

PROCEDURE

The axillary approach

The approach enters from the axilla through the interval between the latissimus dorsi and subscapularis to expose the anteroinferior glenoid, neck and lateral border of the scapula with entire rotator cuff sparing and fix the fracture with screws or plates.
