Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for Scapular Fractures

This procedure demonstrates a 65-year-old man who sustained an injury approximately 2 weeks ago with a displaced multifragmented intra- and extra-articular scapular fracture. It describes the technique of a minimally invasive approach and fixation with the use of mini fragment plating. Indications are a displaced extra-articular scapula body, glenoid neck, and intra-articular fracture of the glenoid. Intraoperative imaging confirms anatomic reduction and stable fixation. Follow-up shows a good functional outcome and return to normal daily life.

Abstract

This procedure demonstrates a 65-year-old man who sustained an injury approximately 2 weeks ago with a displaced multifragmented intra- and extra-articular scapular fracture. It describes the technique of a minimally invasive approach and fixation with the use of mini fragment plating. Indications are a displaced extra-articular scapula body, glenoid neck, and intra-articular fracture of the glenoid. Intraoperative imaging confirms anatomic reduction and stable fixation. Follow-up shows a good functional outcome and return to normal daily life.
