Explanation

A "nondisplaced right glenoid neck fracture" refers to a break in a specific part of the shoulder blade, on the right side of the body. The term "nondisplaced" means that the broken pieces of bone have not moved out of their normal position. The "glenoid neck" is the part of the shoulder blade that connects to the ball of the shoulder joint. So, this is a fracture in that area, but the pieces of the broken bone have stayed in place.
