A Rare Case of Scapula Neck and Displaced Acromian Fracture
Scapular neck fracture is common among all scapular fractures. Scapular neck fracture along with displaced acromian fracture is

acromian fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws. With fixation and physiotherapy
subacromian space was well maintained and patient achieved near normal shoulder movement and strength.
