Three types of acromial fracture are defined by Kuhn et al 7 which can help to determine whether surgical or non-surgical treatment is appropriate: type I: non- or minimally displaced. IA: avulsion fractures. IB: true fractures. type II: displaced but does not reduce the subacromial space. type III: displaced with narrowing of the subacromial space
Scapula Fractures are uncommon fractures to the shoulder girdle caused by high energy trauma and associated with pulmonary injury, head injury, and increased injury severity scores. Diagnosis can be made with plain radiographs and CT studies are helpful for fracture characterization and surgical planning.
Treatment of acromion and scapular spine fractures after reverse shoulder arthroplasty depends on the fracture location, displacement, and patient factors and includes both non-surgical management and surgical fixation.
The AC joint is where the acromion (a part of the shoulder blade) connects to the clavicle (collar bone) at the top of the shoulder. This joint helps maintain the position of the shoulder and is very important for shoulder control, motion, and strength.
Purpose. Traumatic acromion fractures are rare and typically occur in patients with multiple fractures, which often delays diagnosis. Limited guidance exists on the treatment of these fractures.

Acromion fractures are an uncommon injury of the shoulder girdle than can result from direct trauma to the shoulder or indirect muscular forces resulting in avulsions. A gold standard for the management of these injuries has not been very well established in the literature.
A shoulder fracture happens when something breaks any of the three bones in your shoulder joint. It’s usually caused by traumas like car accidents or sports injuries. You’ll have to wear a brace or sling for a few weeks, and you might need surgery to repair your bone.
Fractures of the acromion process that cause the arm bone to hit against it (impingement syndrome) During this operation, the bone fragments are first repositioned (reduced) in their normal alignment, and then held together by attaching metal plates with screws to the outer surface of the bone.
Displaced Fracture of Acromion: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment. Displaced fracture of the acromial process is a specific type of shoulder injury characterized by a break or fracture in the acromion, which is a bony projection on the upper part of the shoulder blade.
