However, coracoid fractures remain unreported in the literature in this population. These authors report a case of a coracoid fracture missed on the initial plain film radiographs. Whilst these fractures can be easily missed on standard trauma series radiographs of the shoulder, alternate views and other imaging modalities can be used to detect these fractures. Clinical suspicion, judicious imaging and accurate diagnosis of these fractures are important, as stability of the coracoid influences the entire superior shoulder suspensory complex which allows normal function of the shoulder joint.}, number={1}, journal={South African Journal of Sports Medicine}, author={Duinslaeger, E and Kirby, J and Viljoen, J and Viviers, P}, year={2017}, month={Oct.}, pages={1–2} }
