SURGICAL-TREATMENT OF THE FRACTURED SUPRA GLENOID TUBERCLE OF THE SCAPULA

Fractures of the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula were up to now t reated by means of a traction screw or a traction strap through which relatively often complications occured. Anatomic studies on the inner structure of the scapula show that this method of fixation achieves on ly a weak staying of the fragment. In comparison with it an optimal st aying results by application of a T-plate. In this work the operative technique is represented and the results of this treatment are describ ed by means of seven cases.
