Extra-Articular Malunions and Nonunions of the Scapular Body and Neck: A Comparison of Functional Outcomes Before and After Reconstruction

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the functional outcomes of patients with extra-articular malunions and nonunions of the scapular body and neck following surgical reconstruction. The authors found significant improvements in range of motion, strength, and disability scores postoperatively, indicating that corrective surgery effectively addresses the complications associated with these fractures. Overall, the results suggest that timely and principled reconstruction can lead to favorable outcomes in patients suffering from these conditions.
