A case of successful glenohumeral arthrodesis performed under arthroscopic control is presented. Clinical and radiographic fusion occurred by 6 weeks after the procedure. Salient features of the procedure include arthroscopic debridement of all hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone on both sides of the joint, reduction in a functional position, and internal fixation with percutaneously placed screws.
