Abstract

Scapula fractures are very rare, resulting from high-energy trauma and are mostly associated with other fractures of the locomotor system and injuries to the head, chest or abdominal organs. Most often, they are treated conservatively and the indications for surgical treatment are not yet clearly agreed. One of the conditions requiring surgical treatment is a scapula fracture with fragment migration into the thoracic cavity. In this paper, we are presenting an extremely rare, isolated scapula fracture, without injury to other parts of the locomotor system, with an intrathoracic fragment migration that was treated conservatively with an excellent functional outcome.
