Intra-articular scapular fractures: Outcomes after internal fixation.
Journal of Orthopaedics(2013)
摘要
Although operative treatment may offer an appropriate management option for displaced glenoid fractures, there is sparse research assessing post-operative functional outcomes. This study assessed functional outcomes of patients after undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of displaced glenoid fractures.Fifteen patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation for displaced intra-articular fractures between 2005 and 2010. The indication for operative fixation was intra-articular displacement >4 mm. Post-operative functional outcomes were assessed via retrospective chart review. Evaluation included review of pre-operative imaging for fracture type, review of post-operative plain radiographs for fracture healing, Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon Assessment (ASES) scores at last follow-up.At a mean follow-up of 49 months (24-87 months) all patients had radiographic healing. The mean DASH score was 10 (range 0.83-29.17). Mean ASES score was 90 (range 41.7-100). No patients had evidence of hardware failure or infection.Open reduction and internal fixation of displaced intra-articular glenoid fractures results in stable fixation and is associated with good functional outcome.Level IV. Case series.
