Fractures around the shoulder region in children are mostly treated conservatively and associated with good outcomes. Surgical treatment is rarely indicated. The aim of this chapter is to review the complications associated with fractures around the shoulder region and humeral shaft in children.
Keywords: Shoulder fractures; clavicle; scapula; humerus
