title: [Fracture of the coracoid process (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors have treated 10 cases of fracture of the coracoid process of the scapula. The case histories have been reviewed. The mechanism was an indirect one in most cases. Associated lesions such as fractures of the clavicle were frequent. The diagnosis may be difficult and special X-ray techniques were needed. In most of the cases, conservative treatment was indicated. Only one case associated with an acromio-clavicular dislocation was treated operatively.
