Patient presented with persistent shoulder pain 8 months following an injury which was diagnosed to be an old non-united missed acromion fracture. The difficulties in diagnosing such fracture, the functional and radiological outcome of surgical fixation of this type of missed acromion fracture with 6-month follow-up has been discussed in this case report.
We report a case of 48-year-old male who presented to us with chronic shoulder pain following an injury which was later diagnosed to be a missed non-united acromion fracture.
Acromion fractures are commonly missed. Non-united acromion fractures can cause significant chronic post-traumatic shoulder pain. Reduction and internal fixation can alleviate the pain with a good functional result.

我们报告一例48岁男性患者,其受伤后出现慢性肩部疼痛,后来被诊断为漏诊的未愈合肩峰骨折。
肩峰骨折常被漏诊。未愈合的肩峰骨折可导致严重的创伤后慢性肩部疼痛。复位内固定可缓解疼痛并取得良好的功能效果。
