Abstract : Acromion fractures are often associated with high velocity trauma. These fractures are relatively rare injuries with the reported incidence being 0.1% of skeletal fractures in the literature. The pathology of Acromion non-union with associated soft tissue lesions and their treatment have been sparsely reported in the literature. Our case is that of a forty year old male with complaint of pain and restriction of his left shoulder for 7 months following a road traffic accident He was diagnosed to have an Acromion non-union with an associated posterior glenoid labral tear. We report the successful treatment of the acromion non-union and the associated posterior glenoid labral tear by a combination of Arthroscopic and open reduction procedures.
