Skapulafrakturen

Zusammenfassung

Skapulafrakturen sind seltene Verletzungen. Sie werden meist konservativ behandelt. Es gilt jene Frakturen zu erkennen, die durch eine Operation ein besseres Outcome erlangen. Dislozierte Skapulablattfrakturen werden vermutlich aufgrund mangelnder chirurgischer Erfahrung und mangelnder Kenntnis der Indikationskriterien häufig konservativ behandelt. Es sollen hier jene Kriterien vorgestellt werden, anhand derer die Indikation zur operativen Stabilisierung gestellt wird.

Abstract

Fractures of the scapula are rare. While corpus fractures can usually be treated conservatively, it is important, however, to identify fractures in patients that could profit from surgery. Dislocated fractures are often treated conservatively. This may be due to lacking or little experience in indicating surgery, and the high skillset necessary for surgical treatment of these fractures. This article presents criteria which could aid in indication to either conservative or surgical treatment in scapula fractures.
