Abstract
Fractures about the shoulder are a frequent occurrence. The clavicle and the proximal humerus are fractured much more often than the scapula. Appropriate diagnosis of these injuries and any associated injuries is essential. The vast majority of these fractures may be treated conservatively with good functional results.
