Superior approach to the glenoid for treating acromion fractures combined with ideberg type III scapular glenoid fractures: a technical note.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeScapular glenoid fractures, categorized based on the Ideberg classification, are commonly addressed surgically through approaches like the anterior deltoid-pectoral approach, posterior Judet approach, modified Judet approach, or posterior axillary approach. However, these methods present limitations in exposing the superior part of the glenoid. Therefore, we propose an approach for patients with concomitant acromion fractures, involving the anterior lateral flipping of the fractured acromion, allowing direct superior visualization of the superior and posterior superior parts of the glenoid.
methodRetrospective analysis was conducted on the data of five patients with shoulder fractures combined with scapular Ideberg III fractures between June 2018 and May 2023. All patients were treated using the shoulder approach above the scapular spine. There were four males and one female, aged 23-54 years with an average age of 36.6 years. One case involved the left shoulder, and four cases involved the right shoulder. X-rays and CT were taken before and after surgery to assess the location of the fractures and the healing status. Clinical evaluation included the assessment of efficacy using the Constant-Murley scoring criteria and analysis of surgical complications.
resultsAll five patients were followed up for a duration of 14-36 months. All fractures healed completely, with an average healing time of 4.3 months (range: 3-6 months). There were no complications such as suprascapular nerve injury, nonunion, wound infection, or shoulder joint instability observed postoperatively. At the final follow-up, the Constant-Murley shoulder joint function score ranged from 84 to 98 points, with an average of 91.4 points. Three patients achieved an excellent rating in shoulder joint function score, while two patients achieved a good rating.
conclusionThe shoulder approach above the scapular spine exhibits advantages such as easy exposure and reduction, minimal intraoperative trauma, and clear visualization.
