FRACTURE OF THE SCAPULA REQUIRING OPEN REDUCTION

Report of a Case

WALTER R. FISCHER M.D.1

1 Instructor in Orthopaedic Surgery, College of Medicine, University of Illinois, Chicago

From the information in the literature concerning the treatment of fractures of the scapula, those which require open reduction are: (1) fractures involving the glenoid in which free motion of the shoulder is seriously threatened and which cannot be reduced sufficiently by traction or manipulative means; and (2) fractures of the body of the scapula which interfere with the unity of the scapula in performing its function as an adjunct to the elevation of the arm.
