Abstract.
Between 1994 and 1999 ten patients with displaced glenoid cavity fractures were treated operatively. Nine of the fractures were the result of road traffic accidents. There were eight men and two women patients, their average age was 38 (range 22–54) years, and the follow-up ranged from 18 to 84 months. Functional outcome was assessed in terms of pain, range of movement, muscle power, and performance of daily activities, and the results were excellent or good in eight patients.

Entre 1994 à 1999 nous avons opéré dix malades avec des fractures déplacées de la glène de l'omoplate. Il y avaient 8 hommes et 2 femmes, et l'âge moyen était de 38 (22–54) années. Neuf des fractures résultaient d'accidents de la voie publique. Le suivi était de 18 à 84 mois. Le résultat fonctionnel a été étudié sur la douleur, l'amplitude de mouvement, la force musculaire et la performance dans les activités journalières. Le résultat a été estimé comme excellent ou bon pour 8 malades.
