What is a Shoulder Capsular Reconstruction?
Shoulder fracture fixation is a surgical procedure that repairs a fractured or broken shoulder bone by realigning it and holding it in place using a plate and screws. It is typically done as an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedure, where a shoulder incision is made and the instruments are used to align the bone. The incision is then closed, and the patient is placed in a comfortable sling. Shoulder fracture fixation is usually performed on an outpatient basis but may require a hospital stay in some cases. Common causes of shoulder fractures include falls, motor vehicle accidents, and sports injuries. Symptoms of a shoulder fracture may include swelling, bruising, pain, weakness, and inability to move the arm. Diagnosis is made through physical examination and x-rays.
