Description
Myung-Sub Lee and co-authors present a 2026 retrospective study of shoulder injuries that hide alongside fractures of the coracoid process, a small bone in the shoulder blade complex. Damage to the acromioclavicular joint is easily missed in the acute phase.
The team reviewed 60 patients treated between 2016 and 2023, classifying fractures by position on three-dimensional scans. Joint injury appeared in 15 patients, and every one of them had a fracture at the coracoid base. A sideways displacement gap of about 5.82 millimetres or more on imaging predicted the hidden injury. The authors advise targeted checks whenever a base fracture shows that degree of displacement.
