Abstract:

Purpose: Skapula breaks are not a common pathology in toral trauma. In its presence, other systems should be carefully evaluated, taking into account the severity of the injury. In our study, we aimed at evaluating patients with unusual scrap breaks and other accompanying injuries in traumatic patients. Instruments and Methods: The records of traumatic patients who appealed to our clinic between 2012-2017 and who broke the cabin were evaluated retrospectively. The findings: A total of 52 torak traumatic patients with Skapula broken were taken to study. The average age of patients was 49,06 ± 18,42 (min-max: 14-82). Thirty-six (88.46) were men and six (11,54) were women. The most common mechanism of trauma in patients was car accident (n : 21 %44,2). The most common pathology accompanied by the patients was the cartilage break (n : 23 %44,2). The others were lung contagion (n : 21 %40,4), pnomotoraks (n : 13 %25), clavicular fractures (n : 10 %19,2), lung laseration (n : 5 %9,6), hemotoraks (n : 4 %7,7), sternum fractures (n : 3 %5,8), cervical vertebra fractures (n : 12 %23,1), lomber vertebra fractures (n : 3 %5,8), pnomomediastinum (n : 2 %3,8). In 11 patients (21.1%), there was no additional injury in the throat. The result: Torax trauma accompanied by a scapula break is associated with the height of the severity of the trauma, the height of the rate of injury of the accompanying organ and the increase in mortality. These patients should also be assessed from the point of view of additional wounds in the torace that may be accompanied.
