Review Meta Analysis
[Influencing factors and complications in open treatment of acute anterior glenoid rim fractures].
The aim of this comparative study was to evaluate the clinical radiological outcome after open treatment of acute anterior glenoid rim fractures and to analyze the influencing factors and complications. ⋯ Open fixation yielded good or excellent shoulder function in 20 out of the 26 (77 %) patients and the clinical outcome primarily depended on the underlying type of fracture. Significantly inferior outcomes should be expected in patients with multi-fragment fractures. The main complications were subscapularis insufficiency and posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
