To evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive arthroscopic treatment for coracoid process fractures.
Approach:
Study Design: Retrospective study analyzing 17 patients with coracoid process fractures treated between January 2020 and October 2025, with a follow-up period ranging from 10 to 21 months.
Key Findings:
Operative time and fracture healing time showed no significant intergroup differences (P > 0.05).
Interpretation:
Arthroscopic treatment of coracoid process fractures results in less intraoperative bleeding and shorter hospital stays, with better early postoperative pain and function improvements.
Limitations:
Small sample size of 17 patients.
Retrospective design may introduce bias.
Conclusion:
Arthroscopic treatment achieves comparable accuracy in screw placement and healing time while offering benefits in terms of reduced blood loss and improved postoperative outcomes.
