INTRODUCTION Winged scapula is defined as the prominence of the medial border of the scapula. The classic etiopathology of scapular winging are injuries to the spinal accessory or long thoracic nerves resulting respectively in trapezius and serratus anterior palsy. To the best of our knowledge, there are only few reports of scapular lesions being mistaken for winging of the scapula. We report a...

The features of congenital elevation of the scapula are described for a group of 16 children. Fibrous bands which tether the scapula and limit its movements were discovered in most children. Vertical displacement osteotomy of the medial border of the scapula and division of the fibrous attachments have provided a reliable and safe treatment for 12 children during the past 10 years.

Introduction Chondroblastoma is a rare benign bone tumour, but locally destructive lesion although metastases may occur. It usually presents in the second decade of life. It is typically localised in the epiphyses of the long bones. Localisation in flat bones is unusual. Males are affected more often than females, the ratio being approximately 2:1. Common clinical symptoms are pain and a decrea...
