A new surgical approach for the treatment of scapular glenoid fractures- Axillary approach: A single center case series.
Annals of Medicine and Surgery 2022 July
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of the scapular glenoid fractures by a new surgical approach (Axillary approach) through follow-up studies.
Method: We retrospectively analyzed the prospectively collected data from 11cases of glenoid fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation through a Axillary approach approach between July 2019 and October 2020. All patients were required to conform to regular follow up postoperatively. X-ray film and CT scan was applied to all cases. The Constant score system, the UCLA score system and DASH score system were used to evaluate functional results.
Results: All patients achieved bone union. At the final follow-up, the mean Constant score was 92.5 ± 3.0 (range 85-97) points and the mean UCLA score was 33.5 ± 1.6 (range 31-36) points. According to the UCLA score system, two patients achieved excellent results and one patients had good results. The mean DASH scores were 7.7 ± 3.2 (range 4-12). Compared with the preoperative functional score, it was significantly improved (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: The axillary approach as a new method for scapular glenoid fractures (especially the fracture of the lower half of the scapular glenoid) has achieved desired results, and it can provide new options for clinical treatment.
