Reconstruction plate internal fixation for the operative treatment of scapula fracture / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To explore the operative treatment and clinical result of scapula fracture by reconstruction plate internal fixation.[Method]From August 2002 to November 2006 , 18 cases of scapula fracture were treated by open surgical operation with reconstruction plates through the straight incision along lateral border of the scapula. Ten cases were examined by three-dimensional CT reconstruction before operations. [Result]All the patients were followed up. The fracture healing time lasted for 8-12 weeks. According to Hardegger evaluation, 11 cases showed excellent results, 4 good, 2 fair, 1 poor. The excellent result was 83.3%.[Conclusion]Three-dimensional CT reconstruction is of guidable meaning in the diagnosis and treatment of scapula fracture. With strict operative guides, the reconstruction plate internal fixation for the operative treatment of scapula fracture could acquire the satisfactory clinical result.
