A diagram illustrates the possible scapula incisions. In our study, all seven patients had the lateral border incision (Incision A), with four patients requiring the incision overlying the medial border (Incision C). One major advantage over the Judet incision is the different combinations of incisions depending on the fracture pattern instead of a single incision regardless of the fracture type. Incision B is used for fractures extending through the scapular spine and Incision D for fractures exiting the inferior medial border.
