Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Skeletal biomechanics

Context:

  • Scapular neck fractures with significant glenoid rim displacement present complex surgical challenges.
  • Accurate anatomical reduction is crucial for restoring shoulder joint function and stability.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of open reduction and internal fixation for scapular neck fractures with glenoid rim displacement.
  • To determine the optimal surgical approach and fixation methods for these injuries.

Summary:

  • This study involved 14 patients with displaced scapular neck fractures (Type II Miller's system) treated with open reduction and internal fixation.
  • The posterior approach in prone position facilitated anatomical reduction and stable fixation, with all patients achieving primary wound healing and no neurovascular complications.

  • Follow-up revealed excellent to fair prognosis in all cases, with no long-term complications.

    • Impact:

    • The findings support surgical intervention for displaced glenoid rim fractures, emphasizing the suitability of the mesoscapula and axillary rim for fixation.
    • This surgical technique aids in the recovery of scapular morphology and biomechanics, promoting early functional rehabilitation.
