Scapular fractures are relatively rare, especially isolated coracoid process fractures, corresponding to approximately 2 to 13% of shoulder girdle fractures.. Because of it, in this paper, we describe the case of a 55-year-old male patient who was admitted complaining right shoulder pain 10 days ago, after a 3-meter fall from a scaffolding while working, ending up in direct trauma on right shoulder. On physical examination, the patient reported pain while moving right arm, was also noticed partial ROM limitation and preserved neurovascular local system. Right shoulder radiographs from trauma series were requested for his case, which showed a right coracoid process fracture. As medical behavior, we opted for surgical treatment to correct the fracture. This way, this study's purpose is to report an isolated coracoid process fracture case, emphasizing the low incidence of this fracture type compared to other cases, contributing with this data to literature, so that the medical community can have knowledge to better understand the subject exposed and provide better treatment to future patients.
