Shoulder Blade Fractures
Fractures of the shoulder blade, also known as the scapula, are very rare. A great deal of force is required to damage this bone. When this type of fracture occurs, it can be difficult to diagnose. A CT scan may be necessary to assess the damage. While this type of injury can sometimes be treated without surgery, more often than not surgical intervention is necessary, particularly when compound fractures are involved.
Shoulder Joint Fractures
Shoulder joint fractures, also referred to as proximal humerus fractures, can be repaired by simple treatment options in some cases. The shoulder may simply need to be put back into place and immobilized with a sling. In more severe cases, surgery and extensive physical therapy are necessary for a complete recovery.
Collar Bone Fractures
Collar bone fractures, also known as clavicle fractures, are not only the most common type of broken shoulder, they are the most common type of broken bone. For most victims, this injury is easily treatable. However, serious cases may require costly surgery.
All Cases Handled on a Contingency Basis
In collar bone and shoulder fracture cases, you will only be asked to pay attorney fees if we are successful in getting you compensation through a settlement or verdict.
