Shoulder Trauma

Section I fractures of the proximal humerus and humeral diaphysis: non-displaced fractures of the proximal humerus; two part fractures of the proximal humerus; three part fractures of the proximal humerus; four part fractures of the proximal humerus; special concerns for fractures of the proximal humerus - open fractures, fracture/dislocations, non-unions, mal-unions; fractures of the diaphysis of the humerus. Section II Fractures of the scapula: fractures of the glenoid; other fractures of the scapula - body, spine, acromion, coracoid; special concerns for fractures of the scapula - open fractures, fracture/dislocations, non-unions, mal-unions. Section III Fractures and dislocations of the clavicle: fractures of the proximal third and middle third of the clavicle; fractures of the distal third of the clavicle - type I, type II, type III; special concerns for fractures of the clavicle - scapulothoracic disassociations, open fractures, non-unions, mal-unions; acromioclavicular dislocations; sternoclavicular dislocations. Section IV Neurologic and vascular injuries in shoulder trauma: brachial plexus injuries; isolated nerve injuries - axillary nerve, suprascapular nerve, long thoracic nerve, spinal accessory nerve; vascular injuries - brachiocephalic, axillary, brachial, venous. injury. Section V Special considerations in shoulder trauma: gun shot injuries, penetrating trauma; traumatic amputations and crush injuries; paediatric shoulder injuries; pathologic fractures of the shoulder.
