Surgery for scapula process fractures
BACKGROUND Generally, scapula process fractures (coracoid and acromion) have been treated nonoperatively with favorable outcome, with the exception of widely displaced fractures. Very little has been published, however, regarding the operative management of such fractures and the literature that is available involves very few patients. Our hypothesis was that operative treatment of displaced ac...
متن کاملFractures of the Scapula
The scapula plays a critical role in the association between the upper extremity and the axial skeleton. Fractures of the scapula account for 0.4% to 1% of all fractures and have an annual incidence of approximately 10 per 100,000 inhabitants. Scapular fractures typically result from a high-energy blunt-force mechanism and are often associated with other traumatic injuries. The present review f...
متن کاملFractures of the scapula.
The scapula connects the arm with the chest wall and is therefore of great importance for a free range of shoulder of motion. For a long-term scapular fractures had been treated predominantly conservative. However, clinical studies of the past decades revealed that some fracture patterns deserve operative treatment to prevent unfavorable functional outcome and chronic state of pain. Scapular fr...
متن کاملProgressive Displacement of Scapula Fractures
INTRODUCTION Historically, minimally-to-moderately displaced extra-articular scapula fractures have been managed conservatively. It is possible that operative criteria could be met for a given patient if progressive displacement in the post injury period were to occur. A retrospective review of an operative cohort of patients was performed to determine if a subset of scapula fractures that init...
متن کاملIsolated Fractures of the Body of Scapula
UNLABELLED Fractures of the scapula body are relatively rare constituting 1% of all fractures and 5% of all fractures around shoulder (1). They are usually caused due to high energy vehicular trauma or fall of heavy object over scapula (1,2,3). In most cases of scapula fractures, early functional treatment gives good or excellent results (1,2). Operative treatment may however be indicated in hi...
