Significance of Scapular Fracture Existence in Blunt Chest Trauma: A Retrospective Cohort Study

20241 citationOpen accessAin Shams University

Abstract

Scapular fracture in BCT patients indicates a high-energy type of trauma. Compared to a chest X-ray, CT scan was more accurate for the diagnosis of scapular fracture. Associated injuries are the main cause of trauma-related mortality rather than the direct effect of the fractured scapula. Particular attention and meticulous evaluation should be paid to head and neck injuries to avoid missing injuries.
