Clinical outcomes following surgical fixation of acromion fractures
Patients with rotator cuff dysfunction or presence of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty are more likely to have acromion stress fractures compared to those with an intact rotator cuff. Surgical fixation of acromion fractures can improve the shoulder range of motion and pain scores. The nonunion rate is lower for surgical fixation compared to existing literature on nonoperative treatment of acromion fractures.
