Abstract
Scapular fractures are uncommon and are basically caused due to high-energy trauma [1]. Computed tomography with 3D reconstruction maybe helpful in diagnosed the involvement of the glenoid surface. Where a large number of cases are managed conservatively but fracture with significant displacement may require operative fixation to achieve functional stability [2]. This is a case report of 55years old male, presenting with displaced comminuted fracture involving the body of right scapula following an RTA (Road traffic accidents) trauma and having undergone open reduction internal fixation plating with excellent clinical outcomes with constant score of 100 following 1 year of regular follow-up.
