PURPOSE: Although glenoid fractures are relatively uncommon, they may be associated with severe concomitant injuries, including thoracic, vertebral, and neurovascular trauma. Large-scale studies evaluating the relationship between fracture morphology, associated injuries, and functional outcomes remain limited. The purpose of this multicenter study was to classify glenoid fractures according to the Ideberg Classification system, identify associated injuries, and investigate their relationship with functional outcomes. METHODS: In this retrospective multicenter cohort study, 242 patients diagnosed with glenoid fractures across five trauma centers were evaluated. Glenoid fractures were classified according to the Ideberg and AO/OTA systems by five independent observers. For statistical analyses, the Ideberg classification was grouped into three categories (Type I, Type II-III, and Type IV-V). Data on associated injuries (including extremity, thoracic, abdominal, craniospinal, and neurovascular injuries) were obtained from hospital records. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Constant-Murley (CM) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores. RESULTS: The mean age of the cohort was 51.5 ± 18.1 years, and 66.9% of the patients were male. Ideberg Type I fractures were the most frequent (59%), whereas Type V fractures were the least common (8%). Glenohumeral dislocation was the most common associated pathology, observed in 70.2% of patients, particularly in Type I fractures (88%; p
