Abstract
Acromial fractures are a rare occurrence, very few cases of displaced isolated fractures of the acromion requiring surgical treatment have been reported. We report a case of isolated and displaced fracture of the acromion, happened at a cycle racer. The operative indication was formal because of the reduction of subacromial space. The fracture healing was completed without causing subacromial impingement. We recommend early surgical treatment for displaced acromion fractures with reduction of subacromial space.
