Operative treatment is indicated in displaced intra-articular glenoid fractures. We report the results of treating 14 such fractures with open reduction and stable internal fixation. With an average follow-up period of 30.5 months, all fractures healed. All shoulders are rated good according to Rowe's scoring system. Complication was minimal, apart from those which resulted from the concomitant chest injuries. We therefore conclude that the operative treatment for these fractures gives good and predictable results. Special attention should be paid to treat the complications resulting from the common association of chest injuries in these patients.
