osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that when located on the base of the coracoids process of the scapula is very rare and diagnosis and treatment is often delayed because of its rarity. almost any bone can be involved, but half of cases involve the femur or tibia. the radiologic features of osteoid osteoma are well known, but these tumors may present with unusual features and be easily misd...

The exact role and the function of the scapula are misunderstood in many clinical situations. This lack of awareness often translates into incomplete evaluation and diagnosis of shoulder problems. In addition, scapular rehabilitation is often ignored. Recent research, however, has demonstrated a pivotal role for the scapula in shoulder function, shoulder injury, and shoulder rehabilitation. Thi...

background scapula fractures occur in approximately 1% of all fractures and constitute about 3% - 5% of all injuries of the shoulder joint. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 20 surgically treated patients with displaced glenoid fractures after stabilization with distal radius plate. methods between 2012 and 2015, at 2 centers (hmch & shce) of bhubaneswar odisha, w...

INTRODUCTION Osteochondromas are common benign bone tumours. They are usually seen in metaphyses of long bones and are seldom found in flat bones like scapula. When present in scapula, they may cause abnormal scapulothoracic movements leading to pain, snapping and winging of scapula. CASE REPORT We describe the case of a middle-aged woman with painful snapping and pseudo-winging of scapula du...

defined as prominence of the medial or vertebral border of the scapula.1-3 Clinically, decreased range of active shoulder movement, upper girdle muscle weakness, pain, or cosmetic changes may be observed. However, in many cases it is no more than an incidental physical sign. The classic etiopathology of winging of the scapula is serratus anterior muscle impairment, secondary to long thoracic ne...

As a largely under-recognized problem, snapping scapula stems from the disruption of normal mechanics in scapulothoracic articulation. It is especially common in the young, active patient population, and symptoms are frequently seen with overhead and throwing motions. Understanding the anatomy of the scapula and surrounding neurovascular structures is crucial in making a differential diagnosis ...

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...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013202273 DESCRIPTION Osteochondromas (exostosis) are commonly found benign tumours (35–46%) of the bone. 2 These are mostly found in the metaphyseal region of long bones and the scapula is involved rarely in 3–4.6% of cases. These scapular tumours may present with winging of t...
