Pitfalls and Complications

• Labral repair should not be attempted until after the fracture fragment is debrided and mobilized.

• During debridement and mobilization, care should be taken not to disrupt any intact labral tissue.

• Suture anchors should be placed in the intact glenoid and not in the fracture fragment.

• Anatomic fracture reduction should be ensured before final screw fixation.

• Avoid intra-articular penetration of the drill bit and screw by making use of arthroscopic and fluoroscopic guidance.

• To reduce the risk of neurovascular injury, do not drill past the cortex of the posterior glenoid neck or place a prominent screw.
