Fracture of the Shoulder Socket (Glenoid Fracture)

This is a fracture of a part of the shoulder blade called the "glenoid." This is the socket that holds the head of the humerus (the bone of the upper arm). A glenoid fracture can allow the head of the humerus to slip out of the socket.

A glenoid fracture is one of several types of shoulder fractures. Other common shoulder fractures include fractures of the shoulder blade (scapula), proximal humerus fracture, fracture of the collarbone (clavicle) and fractures of the greater tuberosity.
