Abstract:
Fractures of the acromial process or the coracoid process of scapula are rare, and this is usually the result of direct trauma to the shoulder. This type of fracture is often neglected, but it can be detected by performing careful evaluation. We report here on an unusual case involving a fracture of the coracoid process along with concomitant acromial fracture.
