Scapular Osteosynthesis

Scapular osteosynthesis is a surgical procedure used to stabilise fractures of the scapula, particularly when the break involves the glenoid, disrupts shoulder mechanics, or causes significant displacement.

Dr Edoardo Giovannetti De Sanctis, based in Nice, provides international patients with precise surgical intervention and customised post-operative rehabilitation to restore shoulder function and strength.

Because most scapular fractures heal well without surgery, fixation is reserved for more complex injuries that threaten joint stability or alignment.

During the operation, the surgeon repositions the bone fragments and secures them with plates and screws to restore the normal anatomy of the shoulder girdle.

This stabilisation allows for early rehabilitation, improved shoulder function, and reliable healing, especially in active individuals or cases involving high-energy trauma.
