Shoulder Trauma
Fracture Around Shoulder
Shoulder fractures need careful planning to restore alignment, movement and function while reducing stiffness risk.
Types
Shoulder fracture patterns
X-rays and sometimes CT scans guide treatment decisions.
Decision factors
- Age and bone quality.
- Displacement and joint involvement.
- Rotator cuff and soft tissue status.
- Functional needs.
Treatment
Sling, fixation or replacement
The aim is safe healing with the best possible movement.
Non-surgical
- Sling immobilization for stable fractures.
- Pain control and follow-up X-rays.
- Early guided movement when safe.
Surgical
- Plate/screw fixation.
- Nailing in selected fractures.
- Shoulder replacement for selected complex elderly fractures.
