Surgery is not the main option of treatment for broken shoulder or scapula fracture. If a fracture displaces bones, forcing them out of their normal positions then surgery becomes essentials

So lets us understand the Nonsurgical Treatment options

Examples of nonsurgical treatment include:

  • Using a sling or shoulder immobilizer. This is used to prevent movement. Shoulder immobilizers usually have straps and cuffs for the arm, wrist, and fingers which help in more stabilization. Usually, the shoulder is immobilized until the pain reduces.  Usually, it takes  3 or 4 weeks depending on the type or severity of the fracture.
  • Taking pain medication- This will help to reduce pain and swelling. NASID drugs like naproxen and ibuprofen are mostly used for pain treatment.
  • Regularly icing the affected area – Icing help in reduces swelling. The ice pack can be covered with a towel or cloth to prevent ice burn.

Hospitalization is required for non-surgical treatment as to monitor the pain or any unusual symptoms. As the treatment proceeds, the doctors may suggest for physiotherapy treatment if required

Most of the time scapular body fractures are typically treated non surgically with good results, but in case of fractures of the scapular neck or glenoid may require surgical intervention

Surgical Treatment

Dr. Sushal Shanthakumar says, In some of the cases, surgery to treat a broken scapula becomes necessary. Surgery for a scapular fracture may be required when:

  1. Angular deformity – In this condition, the angle of the bone causes a deformity in the limb.
  2. Displacement – In this condition, the bone positioning is no longer in its correct, anatomical position.
  3. Surgery is required if the glenoid socket is fractured, causing instability of the ball and socket joint.
  4. Surgical intervention is required if ant additional bones, such as the clavicle, are fractured.

Based on the condition physician may recommend for a physical therapist for rehabilitation.

As we know that any surgery poses some risk, such as infection, bleeding, or nerve and blood vessel damage. In most of the cases, people heal from scapular surgery with good overall outcomes.
