[Fracture of the acromion. Diagnosis--treatment strategy--outcome].
The case of an 22-year-old man is presented, who sustained a dislocated fracture of the left acromion process and a not dislocated fracture of the left scapular body with a large subcutaneous décollement as well as a dammage of nervus axillaris occurring during a traffic accident. After resuming diagnostics by means of CT, a tension banding of the ventral part of the acromion and a plate osteosynthesis of the dorsal part was performed. 7 weeks after injury neurolysis of nervus axillaris has been done. 4 months after accident the patient shows a satisfying functional result in the Constant score. Diagnostic, treatment and functional results after operative treatment of dislocated fractures of the acromion are shown and discussed.
