Abstract
Fracture of coracoid process is relatively rare. We treated two coracoid fractures, one in a 59-year-old man and one in a 28-year-old man. One was struck by a fallen long log and sustained an acromio-clavicular joint injury, and the other fell down while skiing and sustained a distal clavicular fracture. At 11 days and 6 days after injury, respectively, only the clavicle injuries were treated operatively. After the fixation of clavicle injuries, coracoid fracturesf underwent simultaneous closed reduction. After 6 months, both coracoid fractures had healed without complication. The firm reduction and fixation of the clavicle allows closed reduction and union of coracoid fracture without open reduction of the coracoid fracture.
