Abstract Acromion, lateral projection of scapular spine, fracture is an uncommon injury which is often diagnosed late. Though, usually managed conservatively, the indications for surgery in these fractures are very specific. We are reporting on a 56-year-old active woman with an isolated displaced base of acromion fracture by tension- band wire fixation which resulted into uneventful union, and obtained good shoulder Constant Score and UCLA shoulder score .
