Surgical indications for unstable scapular fractures

summary

The incidence rate of scapular fracture has increased year by year. Unstable surgical treatment of different types of scapular fractures and different internal fixation materials, and postoperative early functional exercise can achieve better clinical results. For this kind of unstable scapular fracture, the effect of conservative treatment is not very good. Let's take a look at the following.

Surgical indications for unstable scapular fractures

First: the incidence rate of unstable scapular fractures has increased in recent years, with an average age of around thirty years. There were 42 cases of unstable scapular fracture, including scapular neck fracture, spina scapulae fracture, bony crest fracture and glenoid fossa fracture. According to different fracture types, we can choose different surgical approaches for treatment. Generally, the effect after operation is very good.

Second: now let's talk about the indications for surgical treatment. General body fracture is not the choice of surgery, but for patients with younger age, fracture displacement is more serious, I suggest surgery. Scapular neck fracture depends on the specific situation, if the fracture displacement distance is too large, leading to functional imbalance, we still consider surgical treatment

Third: after introducing the first two indications, I will go on to introduce the following three indications. One is the pelvic edge fracture. If the fracture affects the stability of the glenohumeral joint, we can choose the method of surgical reduction and fixation. The second is glenoid fossa fracture. We should pay attention to this. Once it is a fracture of this kind, surgery must be performed. Otherwise, it will lead to traumatic arthritis. There is also a fracture of the coracoid process.

matters needing attention

Now with the development of medical technology, surgical treatment and postoperative recovery treatment are selected, so the treatment effect can be recovered.
