Sažetak
Scapular fractures are rarely seen in veterinary medicine. They are caused by blunt force trauma, but still, avulsion fractures can also occur in young animals. Unstable fractures, as well as articular fractures, require surgical treatment. Bone plates, Kirschner wire, bone screws, orthopedic wire and their combination stabilize larger fragments. Smaller bone fragments are stabilized with lag screws, orthopedic wire, and Kirschner wire. Articular fractures are linked with long-term residual lameness. Amputation with scapulectomy or shoulder arthrodesis is a viable salvage procedure. Loss of deep pain sensation is linked with poor long-term prognosis and warrants amputation.
