Clinical Outcomes Following Glenoid Neck Fracture as Correlated With Quantitative Assessment of Osseous Injury

Completed

Conditions studied: Scapula Fracture, Glenoid; Fracture

In brief

A significant subset of patients with scapula fractures also involves the glenoid neck (bone joining the shoulder joint the scapular body). There is little evidence pertaining to the best treatment or precise definition of these lesions. This study will be designed as a prospective, non-randomized cohort study that will collect outcome and radiological data on patients who have sustained a fracture of the glenoid neck (bone joining the shoulder joint the scapular body) for a period of 1 year. All patients who have sustained extraarticular scapula fractures (any fracture not involving the glenoid surface) will be considered. Information will be collected with respect to the radiographic characteristics of osseous injuries as well as functional outcome over time.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Adults 18-65 and 65+
• Extraarticular scapular fractures Scapular fracture is isolated or in concert with nondisplaced ipsilateral fractures of the clavicle, coracoid or acromion or has a clavicle fracture been operatively reduced or fixed?
• Patient is free of preexisting neuromuscular or psychiatric dysfunction
• Patient is free of previous upper extremity injury that would impede objective functional outcome evaluation
• Patient received a CT scan as part of their initial clinical care
• Patient is English speaking
• Patient is signed the informed consent form

You may not qualify if…

• Preexisting upper extremity injury or neuromuscular condition
• Displaced fractures of the acromion, clavicle, or coracoid
• Concomitant injury to the forelimb
• Patients mentally or physically unable to perform the function evaluation
• Patients unwilling or unable to follow up for 1 year
• Patients with poor propensity to follow up; drug, alcohol issues, etc.
• Non English speaking patients
• Patients currently or pending incarceration in prison
