ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of treatment methods of non-operation and surgical operation for scapular fracture.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retrospective analysis of 52 patients (male 37, female 15, ranging in age from 20 to 48 years, meanly 31 years)with scapular fractures was done. According to Hardegger classification the scapular body fracture in 24 cases, the surgical neck fracture in 12 cases, the anatomical neck fracture in 3 cases, the glenoidal lip fracture in 6 cases, the scapular spine fracrure in 7 cases. Of all 52 patients,17 cases were treated conservatively, and 35 were undergone surgical internal fixation. When followed up,the clinical examination was done and the X-ray films were taken to measure glenopolar angle (GPA). Hardegger function evaluation system was adopted. The results were analysed statiscally.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Fifty-two cases were all followed up for 9 weeks to 48 months. Among 17 patients treated by non-operation, Hardegger function evaluation system showed that the result were excellent in 7 cases, good in 6, fair in 2 and poor in 2; the X-ray film results showed that there were 14 cases of GPA > 20 degrees and 3 cases of GPA < 20 degrees. Of 35 patients treated by surgical operation, Hardegger function evaluation system showed that the result were excellent in 20 cases,good in 12 and fair in 3; the X-ray film results showed that there were 33 cases of GPA > 20 degrees and 2 cases of GPA < 20 degrees. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.27).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Before treatment of scapular fracture, with CT 3D -recontruction, complete understanding of fragments displacement, and correction indication selection, and perform early exercises, both of the two procedures can provide satisfactory outcome.</p>
