Functional Outcome of Internal Fixation of Extra-Articular Scapular Fracture: A Systematic Review/ Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Background: Scapular fractures are a rare upper extremity injury brought on mostly by high-energy trauma. The bulk of these fractures are extra-articular. Un-displaced fractures can be successfully treated with conservative measures. However, displaced fractures do not produce excellent outcomes and require surgical intervention. Objective: The aim of the current study was to perform a review of literatures and meta-analysis on the function results of treating extra-articular scapular fractures.
