Intraoperative Reduction of the Scapular Body - A Technical Trick
Original language description
When internal fixation of the scapular neck and body fractures is performed a problem may occur with reduction and retention of position of the lateral border of the scapula during surgery. For this purpose, the authors have developed their own techniqueof stabilization using a K-wire in a novel way. The technique is indicated in a 2-part shear unstable fracture of the lateral border. It cannot be used in fractures with all intercalated segment. A 2.5-mm drill bit is used to drill a 1.5-cm deep hole into the,'medullary cavity" of each of the 2 fragments of the lateral border. A K-wire, 1.5 mm in diameter and 2.5-cm long, is inserted into the distal fragment. The protruding end of the K-wire is inserted into the hole in the proximal fragment. This intramedullary peg helps to maintain reduction and keeps both fragments stable. Subsequently, the lateral border is stabilized with a 3.5-mm reconstruction plate. This technique is quite simple and allows for a temporary stabilization of frag
