Osteoplasty, a highly effective minimally invasive procedure that alleviates the painful effects of metastatic bone disease by injecting bone cement to support weakened bones, provides immediate and substantial pain relief. However, it is rarely performed in non-weight bearing flat bones such as the scapula. Fractures of the body of the scapula are rarely treated surgically, except for cases of...

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...

Zemer, O. 268 INTRODUCTION Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone neoplasia in dogs, accounting for up to 85% of malignancies originating in the skeleton. Other types of primary bone tumors include chondrosarcoma, haemangiosarcoma and fibrosarcoma (1). Amputation of the affected limb in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy is the recommended treatment for primary bone tumors and is tole...

Scapular fracture is exceptional in children, mainly occurring after high-energy trauma. Radiologic investigations help its diagnosis and classification, which determines management. We report the case of a 14-year-old patient admitted for blunt trauma left shoulder falling from speeding car. The displaced body scapula was made, non-operative treatment indicated carried out four weeks, followed...

Scapulo-thoracic dissociation is an infrequent injury resulting from high energy trauma which is often associated with severe neurological and vascular injuries which may be unrecognised at the time of presentation. A 24 year-old female presented with bilateral rib fractures, pneumothorax, liver and kidney injuries following a road traffic accident. She also sustained fractures of her right sca...

INTRODUCTION Scapular fractures are generally occur from in high-energy traumas and are associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present an unusual scapular fracture that occurred with a rare mechanism. A 23-year-old male patient who led an active sports life for 10 years and played ice hockey for the last 5 years. In a competition, he felt a sudden...

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the average morphometric parameters scapula accurate and successful analyzes in clinic. Material Methods: A total 24 dry bone were included study. Parameters determined on scapula; superio-inferior glenoid diameter (SIGD), anterio-posterior 1 (APG1), 2 (APG2), 3 (APG3), width (SW), length (SL), basis-spina distance (BS), spina (SSW), acromiocoracoid (A...
