A clinical study on the effect of axillary approach in the treatment of Ideberg type II scapular glenoid fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to its deep position and complex surrounding anatomy, the scapular glenoid fracture was relatively difficult to deal with especially in cases of severe fracture displacement. Improper treatment may lead to failure of internal fixation and poor fracture reduction, severely affecting the function of the shoulder joint. Inferior scapular glenoid fracture was Ideberg type II fracture, and posterior approach was commonly used to deal with inferior scapular glenoid fracture. However, there are shortcomings of above surgical approach for inferior scapular glenoid fracture, such as insufficient exposure of the operative field, significant trauma, and limited screw fixation direction. This study adopts the axillary approach for surgery, which has certain advantages.
