Course Description:

Clavicle fractures account for 5% of upper extremity fractures and up to 15% in children. Scapular fractures account for 3% to 5% of all shoulder girdle fractures. Eighty to 95% of all scapular fractures are accompanied by other serious injuries like shoulder fractures, collarbone, and ribs. Clavicle and scapular fractures can cause serious impairment to the biomechanics of the upper extremity and function. This webinar revisits the anatomy of the clavicle and scapula and explains the fracture classification, radiological appearance, treatment strategies, and complications of these fractures.
