ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A coracoid process fracture combined with an acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is an uncommon injury that typically causes significant pain and limits shoulder movement. Open reduction and internal fixation have been the traditional treatment approach. However, arthroscopic techniques are emerging as a promising alternative for managing these injuries. CASE REPRESENTATION A 35-year-old woman presented with right shoulder pain following an accidental fall. Imaging studies revealed a coracoid process fracture along with an AC joint dislocation. The fracture was classified as an Eyres Type IIIA, which warranted surgical intervention. Our team performed arthroscopic coracoid fracture reduction and internal fixation surgery, as well as AC joint dislocation repair using Kirschner wires. Six months after surgery, the patient demonstrated a satisfactory functional outcome with complete bone healing.CONCLUSION:
This case report highlights the potential of arthroscopic reduction and fixation as a novel treatment option for fractures of the coracoid base.Key words
