Surgical fixation is a recommended procedure for displaced and unstable scapular fractures to restore anatomical alignment and articular congruency of the fracture fragments. Anatomically Precontoured scapular plates are designed to guide the fracture reduction, used as a template, and stabilize the fixation. However, anatomical variation of the sc...

... qualitative plate fitting and fracture fixability evaluation revealed that the novel plates suitably fitted the intended scapular anatomical regions. In figure 4, the lateral border plate is fitted on a reduced typical scapular body fracture case. Three screw holes are available to fix the proximal fragment which is a requirement for stable fixation. ...
