ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the method and effect of treatment of complex scapular body fractures by locking reconstructive plate through modified posterior approach.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From August 2005 to November 2009, 27 patients with complex scapula body fractures were treated by locking reconstruction bone plate fixation,including 19 males and 8 females with an average age of 36 years old ranging from 16 to 64 years. The time after injury was 0.5 hours to 11 days (averaged 3 days). Of all the patients, 9 cases were associated with ipsilateral clavicle fracture, 2 cases were associated with acromioclavicular joint dislocation,16 cases were associated with multiple rib fractures, 1 case were associated with humeral shaft fractures, 5 cases were associated with pleural effusion, atelectasis, lung contusion etc. After operating,shoulder functional recovery were followed up.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Twenty-four patients were followed up from 2 to 35 months with an average of 19 months. According to Hardegger shoulder function,the results were excellent in 15 cases, good in 7 cases, general in 2 cases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This method had the advantage of less trauma and clear exposure, firm and reliable fixation, and early activities.</p>
