Abstract
A scapular fracture is a break in one or more of the scapula's bones (shoulder blade). These fractures may arise from a fall onto an extended arm or a direct blow to the shoulder. Scapular fracture symptoms might include shoulder discomfort and swelling, arm pain and stiffness, and shoulder blade deformity. A scapular fracture is often treated with physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion as well as immobilization of the shoulder in a sling or brace to enable the bone to heal. In this study, the functional outcomes of the displaced scapular neck, glenoid, and body fractures fixed internally with locking plates and open reduction were evaluated.
