Abstract
|
|
|
Fracture of the coracoid process is rare, and fracture of the coracoid process associated with a complete acromioclavicular dislocation is even more uncommon.
The mechanism of the injury is probably either avulsion or direct trauma, and coracoid fractures usually occur through the base of the coracoid process.
Most coracoid fractures displaced minimum because the coracoclavicular ligament tends to maintain the position of the fragments and usually respond well to nonoperative treatment, but open reduction is rarely indicated.
The cases we are reporting were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the acromioclavicular joint using two smooth Kirshner wires, and screw fixation was done for the fracture of the coracoid process.
