ABSTRACT
The management of scapular fractures can be either conservative or operative, but it is still unclear how to choose the treatment option. Scapular fractures can be classified anatomically into four types: scapular spine, scapular body, and scapular neck where the treatment is conservative most of the time except for certain indications that are specific to each one, and inferior angle of the scapula where the operative treatment yields the best results but conservative treatment can be contemplated in some cases.
