AbstractAbstract PDF
Fractures of the scapula are rare and those were treated conservatively, in general. But, some instances, conservative care cases remain limitation of range of motion, long standing pain and insufficiency of the muscle power. The purpose of his study is to evaluate the clinical results of the operative treatment on the scapular fracture. From May 1989 to December 1994, we treated 17 scapular fractures by the open reduction and internal fixation. We were able to follow up 14 cases, of which 11 cases(79%) had complete functional recovery. The other 3 cases (21%) had varying degree of pain, loss of mobility and weakness. Overall, however, 13 cases (93%) patients had good to excellent results.
