Abstract
Scapular fractures are very rare, accounting for only 1% of all fractures, and are associated with high energy [1]. A scapular fracture can be missed during initial patient evaluation, leading to pseudo-arthrosis [2]. This is a case report of an acromial nonunion that was initially missed. We could not find a case of non-union of the acromion that was managed conservatively following direct trauma.
