We are reporting an interesting case of glenoid fracture in a 42–year–old male which was fixed with the help of arthroscopy. At present, anterior or posterior glenoid rim fractures and some greater tuberosity fractures are widely treated arthroscopically. We report the arthroscopically assisted fixation of a transverse articular glenoid fracture. Arthroscopic reduction and percutaneous fixation of glenoid fractures not only allows anatomic reduction with minimal surgical trauma but provides a valid diagnostic and treatment alternative for associated capsular, ligamentous, labral or tendon injuries as well as joint irrigation.  Arthroscopic fixation of shoulder fractures is associated with a learning curve depending on surgeon‘s experience in shoulder arthroscopy.
