Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the treatment of scapular glenoid fractures via the modified Judet approach.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 25 patients who had been treated for scapular glenoid fractures via the modified Judet approach and completely followed up at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2014 to January 2020. They were 19 males and 6 females with an average age of 46 years (from 29 to 66 years). According to the Goss-Ideberg classification, 8 cases were diagnosed as type Ⅱ, 2 cases as type Ⅳ, 10 cases as type Ⅴ and 5 cases as type Ⅵ. 3D reconstruction of the CT scans by software Mimics 16.0 was made to confirm the diagnoses and classifications of the fractures. Articular step-off and displacement of the scapular glenoid were calculated and recorded. The functional outcomes were evaluated by Constant-Murley scoring system at 6 months postoperatively.Results:Preoperatively, the mean articular step-off was 5.8 mm (from 1.2 to 6.3 mm) and the mean displacement 7.7 mm (from 2.1 to 12.9 mm). All fractures obtained bony union within postoperative 6 months. The mean follow-up period was 58.8 months (from 7 to 92 months). The forward flexion was 158.6° (from 125° to 180°) and the external rotation 39.0° (from 30° to 45°) at 6 months postoperatively. The mean Constant-Murley score was 92.6 (from 75 to 100) at 6 months post-operatively; 19 cases were excellent (76%), 5 were good (20%) and one was fair (4%), giving an excellent to good rate of 96% (24/25).Conclusion:For scapular glenoid fractures of Goss-Ideberg types Ⅱ/Ⅳ/Ⅴ/Ⅵ, surgery via the modified Judet approach may promise satisfactory reduction and fixation and fine clinical outcomes.
