Abstract

Acromion process fractures are as rare to happen and even rare to be treated surgically. Acromion acts as a stabilizer of shoulder joint through a number of ligaments and muscles attached to it. Although most of the acromion fractures are treated conservatively which may either be due to surgeon preference or lack of sufficient training in surgically treating these fractures. Our case is of a 54 years old, Male who presented to us after being referred from other hospital with Type II acromion process fracture who was treated surgically after the fracture was fixed by the unconventional distal end radius plate in place of usually used clavicular or recon plates. The patient yielded excellent Oxford shoulder score in the subsequent follow ups. Although the acromion fractures are not fixed by most of the surgeons and if at all they are fixed they usually use the conventional plates as mentioned for its fixation, but our case shows that even the distal radius plates can be used as a fixation device in such fractures with excellent rehabilitation results and almost no complications.
