TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Fractures of the coracoid process JO - Journal of bone and joint surgery: British volume A1 - Eyres, K. S. A1 - Brooks, A. A1 - Stanley, Debra SP - 425 EP - 428 VL - 77 IS - 3 N2 - We have reviewed 12 fractures of the coracoid process. In two of these patients the fracture extended into the body of the scapula and resulted in displacement of the glenoid. In some cases, there were associated acromioclavicular and glenohumeral dislocations or fractures of the clavicle and the acromion. Two patients required internal fixation to restore congruence of the glenoid; the others were treated conservatively with success. We present a new classification of coracoid fractures which helps in their management.
