Résumé

Introduction: The fracture of the coracoid process associated with a fracture in another location of the scapula is rarely described in the literature.

Case Report: The authors present a case report of a 22- year-old male patient that suffered a fracture of the coracoid process with concurrently neck scapular fracture, in the context of a high-energy trauma of the upper limb during a rugby match. He was submitted to a surgical procedure that consisted in open reduction and placement of osteosynthesis material. Subsequently, in the initial assessment of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR), he showed: muscle amyotrophy in the shoulder region; active range of movement (aROM) and passive range of movement (pROM) limitation, in all axes of movement; and pain associated with movement. The patient underwent rehabilitation treatment aimed at correcting the scapulothoracic rhythm, recovering muscle strength and functional recovery, with good results.

Conclusion: The authors highlight the importance of early diagnosis and the role of rehabilitation in the athlete’s clinical and functional recovery.
