Possible adverse events included postoperative surgical site infection, renal insufficiency, intubation, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, urinary tract infection, wound dehiscence, stroke, and blood transfusion.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 251 scapula fractures were identified, with 161 having known fracture locations: 105 glenoid, 20 body, 9 coracoid, and 27 acromial fractures. The rate of any adverse event for all scapular fractures was 2.0%, with no significant difference between anatomic locations (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.79). The overall rates of transfusion, surgical site infection, and return to OR were 0.4%, 0.8%, and 3.98%. Steroid use associated with a significantly increased risk of any adverse event (OR: 55.57, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.038) and outpatient status demonstrated a protective effect on reoperation (OR: 0.11, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.014). There were no significant differences in the rates between groups [transfusion (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.91); surgical site infection (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.17); reoperation (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.85)].<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Complication rates within thirty days of ORIF for scapula fracture were low. Reoperation was the most common complication, followed by surgical site infection, wound dehiscence, stroke, transfusion, and pneumonia. Steroid use was a risk factor for developing any adverse event, and outpatient status was protective against reoperation. The 30-day complication profile of glenoid, body, coracoid, and acromial fractures was not significantly different. The low complication rates support the relative short-term safety of operative intervention with internal fixation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Level III.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00590-024-04045-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,22]],"date-time":"2024-07-22T20:18:26Z","timestamp":1721679506000},"page":"3163-3169","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Risk factors and incidence of short-term complications following open reduction and internal fixation of scapula fractures"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8899-6603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas R.","family":"Kiritsis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles R.","family":"Reiter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James R.","family":"Satalich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Protzuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Conor N.","family":"O\u2019Neill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Vanderbeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"4045_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"871","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.17.00673","volume":"100","author":"JM Tatro","year":"2018","unstructured":"Tatro JM, Gilbertson JA, Schroder LK, Cole PA (2018) Five to ten-year outcomes of operatively treated scapular fractures.
