Comparing internal fixation constructs for scapular spine insufficiency fractures following reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Aug 13, 2020
Ting FSH, Lockhart JS, Axford D, et al. - This in vitro biomechanical study was sought to correlate 4 fixation constructs to stabilize scapular spine insufficiency fractures. Researchers assigned randomly 12 paired fresh-frozen cadaveric scapulae (N = 24) into 4 fixation groups: subcutaneous border plating (± hook) and supraspinatus fossa plating (± hook). The results of this study illustrated that, when appropriately surgically indicated, after RTSA, a dorsally used plate to the subcutaneous border of the scapular spine with a lateral inferior supporting hook may be advantageous for internal fixation of type II scapular spine insufficiency fractures.
