PEDİATRİC SCAPULA FRACTURES
Abstract
Scapula fractures are rare injuries that occur due to highenergy mechanisms or nonaccidental trauma. Conservative treatment with immobilization yields excellent outcomes in the vast majority of cases. Nevertheless, it is essential to recognize the fractures that can potentially lead to adverse outcomes and complications. The advanced screening with CT imaging scans, including three-dimensional recon-struction, can help the surgeon by providing a better understanding of the fracture model. Operative fixation should be performed for fractures about the glenoid with significant displacement or those leading to glenohumeral subluxation.
