| Summary: | Fractures of the scapula are not very frequent and account for less than 0.5 per cent of all fractures. In most cases they are caused by high-energy trauma and are associated with other injuries. Until recently, fractures of the scapula were rather neglected and treated mostly conservatively. Lately, hover the situation has changed. The number of patients with a scapula fracture is increasing, the interest in this issue is growing and discussion focuses more and more on operative treatment of these fractures. The dissertation thesis provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostics, classification and treatment of scapula fractures. In the anatomical section we have described weak areas in the construction of the scapula that predispose incidence of fracture lines. We have studied topographic relations of individual structures on the posterior aspect of the scapula from the viewpoint of the Judet approach and its modifications in individual types of fractures of the scapular body and neck. In the radiological section we have compared efficiency of individual imaging methods with the aim to evaluate the possibilities of individual radiographic methods, 3D CT reconstructions in particular, from the viewpoint of an exact determination of the type of the fracture, number of fragments and their...
