Although coracoid fractures are rare fractures, their treatment is critical as they form the coracoacromial arch and superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC), which are important structures for shoulder biomechanics. In this case series, clinical, radiological, and demographic characteristics of three male patients who received treatment due to coracoid fracture presenting with traumatic injuries were discussed. The fractures were classified according to the Ogawa and Eyres classifications, and fracture fixation was achieved surgically with the cannulated screws. All patients had a right coracoid fracture. The Constant-Murley Score and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores the patients in the final follow-up visit at 12 months were calculated. In conclusion, good clinical and functional outcomes can be achieved by anatomical reduction and fixation through surgery for displaced coracoid fractures presenting with multiple traumatic injuries located in multiple regions of the SSSC.

Objective: To explore effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted screw implantation in the treatment of coracoid process fractures of the scapula.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data from 24 patients with coracoid process fractures of the scapula admitted between September 2019 and January 2024 and met selection criteria. Among them, 12 patients underwent TiRobot-assisted screw implantation (robot group) and 12 underwent manual screw implantation (control group) during internal fixation.

Background: Clavicle fractures associated with ipsilateral coracoid process fractures are very rare, with limited literature reporting only a few cases. This study reports on 27 patients with ipsilateral concomitant fractures of the clavicle and coracoid process who were followed for more than 12 months.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the charts of skeletally mature patients with traumatic ipsilateral clavicle and coracoid process fractures treated at the authors' institution.

Introduction The coracoid process is integral to the functionality of the scapula, serving as a crucial attachment point for several muscles involved in shoulder movement and stability. In pathologies and fractures of the coracoid process, understanding the morphometric variations is essential for devising optimal surgical strategies. Given the substantial lack of relevant data, this study aimed to analyze the morphometric variations in the dimensions of the coracoid process among the Sudanese population and evaluate the differences in the measurements in relation to gender.

Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the results of the Latarjet procedure performed using screws (S) or suture-button for coracoid graft fixation.

Methods: A systematic search in Pubmed, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library databases was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Cohort studies comparing outcomes in the Latarjet procedure with screw fixation versus the Latarjet procedure with suture-button fixation were included.

Background: To systematically review the literature assessing glenoid bone loss restoration by different bone block options and compare their dimensions.

Methods: Systematic examination of articles in PubMed and EMBASE databases was performed per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to find studies of bone grafts for treating anterior glenohumeral instability. Statistical analyses were conducted via Review Manager, and a -value of <0.
