Nonunion of a scapular spine fracture: Case report and management with open reduction, internal fixation, and bone graft

摘要

Fractures of the scapular spine are relatively uncommon. We report a case of a 39 year old male who developed an atrophic non-union scapular spine fracture entering the spino-glenoid notch. We describe our experience with this rare fracture pattern and identify the need for early internal fixation in the young, active and working population.Keywords: Fracture, internal fixation, nonunion, open reduction, scapular spine
