Differentiating normal ossification variants from fractures in children and adolescents with shoulder trauma is a common diagnostic challenge. We report the case of a 14-year-old male who, after a sports-related injury, was initially diagnosed with a glenoid fracture based on radiographs and computed tomography (CT). Subsequent evaluation, including a detailed physical examination and contralateral shoulder radiographs, showed that the suspected fracture represented normal ossification of the scapular growth centers. This case underscores the importance of a solid understanding of developmental anatomy, a thorough clinical examination, and the use of comparative imaging to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment in this population.
