Open reduction internal fixation of acromion fracture with open rotator cuff repair: a case report

Acromion fractures are uncommonly reported, accounting for only 9% of scapular fractures.7 Traumatic acromion fractures reported in the literature involve high-energy trauma such as motor vehicle accidents.4 There is no widely accepted treatment protocol for traumatic acromion fractures. Techniques such as K-wire fixation or screw and plate fixation have been reported.6 The majority of research done on the treatment of acromion pathology deals with symptomatic os acromiale rather than traumatic acromion fractures.
