Isolated Displaced Fracture Acromion : A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Displaced fracture of the acromion without associated shoulder injury is rare. A 34-year-old gentleman presented with an isolated acromion fracture resulting from a direct trauma to his left shoulder following episode of seizure. Although surgical indications have been reported, the literature regarding surgical approaches and fixation techniques for management of these factures is limited. Open reduction and internal fixation using multiple cc screws was performed and the fracture was healed without complications. The patient achieved good shoulder function at 1 year followup after the surgery. Fixation with cc screws can provide adequate stability in this rare type of shoulder fracture.
