[Osteosynthese in scapula fractures (author's transl)].
Fractures of the scapula can be mostly conservativly. Dislocated fractures can be easily adjusted by suitable approaches. Rigid fixation allows early mobilisation, which is of very importance for the shoulderjoint. Some dislocated cases have been described and the problems of conservatively treated fractures have been discussed. Follow-up of some with stable fixation treated scapulafractures show that it is possible to gain a perfect functional result and a painless shoulderjoint in some hopeless cases.
