【 摘 要 】

Introduction Scapular fractures involving the glenoid are uncommon. According to the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR, a webbased registration that covers roughly 80% of the orthopaedic clinics in Sweden), scapular fractures account for slightly less than 1% of all fractures; a number that corresponds well with other reports.1 The occurrence of intra-articular fracture involvement of the glenoid varies in the literature between 10% and 48% of all scapular fractures.2,3 Most scapular fractures can be treated conservatively with expected good outcome.4,5 However, whenever there is involvement of the glenoid, especially if there is great fracture displacement which may lead to post-traumatic arthritis or instability problems of the shoulder joint, surgery is considered.
