Abstract

Isolated acromial fracture is not common and it frequently accompanies fractures to the coracoid process and glenoid bone and also injuries to the acromioclavicular joint. Furthermore, most of these combined acromial fractures have minimal displacement, which needs no additional treatment other than protection for a certain period of time. We have experienced a case of isolated fracture of the posterolateral angle of the acromion, which we reduced and fixated using K-wire and cannulated screws. We report on the technical aspects and clinical results of this reduction and fixation, along with a review of the literature.

견갑골의 견봉에서 일어나는 골절은 오구돌기, 관절와와 같은 다른 견갑골 부위의 골절과 동반되거나 견봉쇄골 관절 탈구와 동반되는 경우가 흔하며, 이들 대부분의 골절은 전위가 많지 않아 보존적인 방법으로 치료가 가능하다. 저자들은 견갑부 주위 골절의 동반 없이 단독으로 견봉 후외측부위에 골절 및 전위가 있는 환자에서 유관나사 및 K-강선을 이용한 내고정으로 좋은 기능적 결과를 경험하였기에 견봉 골절 내고정을 위한 술기적 특징 및 문헌적 고찰을 보고하고자 한다.
