Treating a Scapula Fracture | Best Shoulder Surgeon in Bangalore- Praxis Ortho Care

1. TREATING A SCAPULA FRACTURE by Dr. Sushal Shanthakumar Surgery is not the main option of treatment for broken shoulder or scapula fracture. If a fracture displaces bones, forcing them out of their normal positions then surgery becomes essentials. SO LETS US UNDERSTAND THE NONSURGICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS Examples of nonsurgical treatment include: Using a sling or shoulder immobilizer. Taking pain medication Regularly icing the affected area Hospitalization is required for non-surgical treatment as to monitor the pain or any unusual symptoms. As the treatment proceeds, the doctors may suggest for physiotherapy treatment if required. Most of the time scapular body fractures are typically treated non surgically with good results, but in case of fractures of the scapular neck or glenoid may require surgical intervention. SURGICAL TREATMENT In some of the cases, surgery to treat a broken scapula becomes necessary.
