| Popis: | Complex shoulder fractures, with lesions in different parts of the shoulder girdle, are a challenging pathology for diagnosis, classification, and treatment. In this technical note we present 2 cases of such complex fractures. We discuss the difficulty of classifying these types of lesions. Although most classification systems focus on 1 element of the shoulder girdle, we underline the need of a system that describes the shoulder girdle as a whole and that allows to classify the magnitude of injury types of these complex structures, addressing both the scapula and the superior shoulder suspensory complex. We present a stepwise surgical approach for the complex combination of a glenoid fracture and a high-grade acromioclavicular luxation. It is a rare sur- gical setup combining open and arthroscopic techniques to receive an anatomic reduction. |
