Scapula Fracture Study
The purpose of this research is to study how recovery of shoulder function relates to the type and amount of injury that can be seen on an x-ray. It is hoped that this study will help us to develop standards to help guide treatment decisions based on x-ray findings
Patients who participate in this research will be asked to complete
questionnaires for this study at their initial hospital visit and each of
their regularly scheduled follow-up visits. Follow-up appointments are
generally scheduled 2, 6, 12, 24, and 52 weeks post treatment. The
questionnaires will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
This study does not use any experimental procedures or devices. Patients who decide to participate will receive care just like anyone else with this injury.
