A fracture of the acromion and coracoid processes of scapula is rarely seen in the outpatient clinic,due to the acromion's anatomical position and shape,as well as the strong ligaments and muscles that are attached to it.These fractures are caused by either direct or indirect high-energy trauma injuries to the shoulder joint,leading to severe pain and a grossly restricted range of motion.Several acromial classi-fications were reported,but this type of longitudinal plane fracture of the acromion process in our case is yet to be described in the current literature.We present a rare combination of the coracoid process and unstable acromion bony projection fractures that have not previously been noted for this type of fracture.The closest to this is Kuhn's type Ⅲ classification.A 51-year-old male presented to our emergency department complaining of the right shoulder pain and difficulty raising his arm following a 2-wheeler accident.The patient was managed by open reduction and internal fixation with 3 cannulated cancellous screws fixation and progressed well with no postoperative complications.He was asymptomatic post-operatively and regained full range of motion after 4 months.
