Fractures of the scapula are rare and the diagnosis and treatment may be unfamiliar to some surgeons. This article outlines a diagnostic work-up and treatment approach for the various types of scapular fractures. The approach helps guide decision making on operative versus nonoperative treatment based on what is known regarding prognosis and outcomes of management. Operative technique and fixation strategies are discussed for the common fracture patterns along with guidelines for postsurgical shoulder rehabilitation.
