Fractures around Shoulder • Fractures of Clavicle • Fractures of Scapula • Fractures of proximal Humerus
FRACTURES OF THE CLAVICLE • FUNCTIONS OF THE CLAVICLE • Power and Stability of the arm • Motion of the shoulder girdle • Muscle Attachments • Protection of the Neurovscular Structures • Respiratory Function • Cosmesis
FRACTURES OF THE CLAVICLE • INCIDENCE OF INJURY: 4% • MECHANISM OF INJURY: - Direct - Indirect • CLASSIFICATION OF CLAVICLE FRACTURES: • Fractures of the Middle third of the clavicle - 76% • Fractures of the Lateral third of the clavicle- 21% • Fractures of the medial third of the clavicle – 3% • CLINICAL PRESENTATION : Pain, swelling, deformity, loss of function
FRACTURES OF THE CLAVICLE • ASSOCIATED INJURIES • Associated Skeletal Injuries • Fractures of the clavicle and Scapula • (The Floating shoulder ) • Injuries to the Lungs and Pleura • Brachial plexus Injuries • Vascular Injuries • RADIOGRAPHIC FINDINGS • Shaft Fractures • Fractures of the lateral third • Fractures of the Medial third
FRACTURES OF THE CLAVICLE • TREATMENT • Conservative: Broad arm sling for 3-4 weeks • Operative
FRACTURES OF THE CLAVICLE • INDICATIONS OF OPERATIVE TREATMENT Open fractures Fractures with neurovascular compromise Polytrauma Floating shoulder (combined clavicle & scapula fractures) Symptomatic non-unions Cosmesis
FRACTURES OF THE CLAVICLE • COMPLICATIONS • Nonunion • Mal-union • Neurovascular compromise
Fractures of Scapula • Incidence: 1% • Mechanism of Injury: Direct/Indirect RTA, Fall from height • Associated Injuries: Clavicle fractures 15 - 40% Rib fractures 25 - 50% Pulmonary injuries 15 - 55% Humeral fractures 12% Brachial Plexus 5-10% Skull fractures 25% Lower Limb fractures 11% Major Vascular injury 11% Splenic lacerations 8%
Fractures of Scapula Classification: • Fractures of body of scapula • Fractures of neck of scapula • Fractures of glenoid cavity • Fractures of coracoid process • Fractures of acromion process
Fractures of Scapula • Clinical Features: Pain, swelling, deformity, loss of function • Diagnosis: Plain X-rays, CT scan • Treatment: 90% treated conservatively- Broad arm sling for 4-6 weeks
Fractures of Scapula Indications for Operative treatment: • unstable fractures • combined injuries
Fracture of the proximal Humeurs • Anatomy
MECHANISM Of INJURY • Direct injury • Indirect injury • CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURES OF THE PROXIMAL HUMEURS • Non displaced • Displaced • Neer four-part classification • AO Classification
INVESTIGATIONS • X-rays (AP and Lateral views) • CT Scan
Treatment • NON-OPERATIVE Cuff and collar sling • OPERATIVE ORIF with wires Sutures Plates Screws Replacement of humeral head with Prosthesis
REHABILITATION • Range of motion exercises • Muscles strengthing exercises
