Arto Superiore chirurgia

Le fratture dell’omero prossimali e diafisarie rappresentano un argomento di crescente interesse. Esse possono essere semplici o complesse e la scelta del trattamento più adeguato è sempre difficile sia per il giovane ortopedico sia per quello più esperto. Il presente volume vuole essere una guida nell’approccio a questa tipologia di fratture, che delinea il più ampio ventaglio delle possibili scelte chirurgiche utilizzabili e, in aggiunta, illustra le eventuali complicanze in modo da guidare il chirurgo in tutti i passaggi, dalla diagnosi al processo di guarigione.

Le fratture della scapola rappresentano l’1% di tutte le fratture, e il 5% delle fratture del cingolo scapolare. Sono spesso il risultato di un trauma violento e sono di frequente associate ad altre lesioni e a una morbilità significativa. Questo tipo di lesione si osserva principalmente in un contesto politraumatico dovuto a un incidente stradale, motivo per cui sussiste il rischio che inizialmente passi inosservata. La TC si rivela molto utile nell’analisi di questo tipo di frattura.
