Illustration simulating the sequence of reduction of a displaced fracture of the glenoid and body of the scapula. The reduction starts with the placement of a Schanz screw in the body of the scapula and a traction in the caudal direction is performed to correct the length of the lateral pillar. Then, two holes are performed with a 2.5-mm drill bit on each side of the medial pillar of the scapula and a pointed clamp is used for medial column reduction. Following, a bone hook is used to pull the glenoid fragment in order to achieve reduction. Provisional K-wires or miniplates may be used for reduction maintenance
