[Pseudoarthrosis of acromion due to politraumatism. Treatment with autologus graffting intercalar of iliac crest].
The fractures of the scapula are not very frequent, an incidence around the 0,4 and 1% of the fractures that affect the upper limb. The acromion fracture means the 7% of the fractures that affect to the scapula. They usually appear in politraumatized patients with more serious lesions that can mask them and postpose this way their diagnosis and treatment. We present a clinical case of a 56 year-old patient with the antecedent of politraumatism that presented a clear atrophic pseudoartrosis of the acromion of their right shoulder with painful clinic and movement limitation. It was treated with surgery by intercalary bone grafting fixed by osteosynthesis plate obtaining good clinical and radiological results. Actually the painful clinic has disappeared completely.
