| | Scapula Stabilization |
| | The role of the scapula in stabilization of the shoulder joint and its influence in rehabilitation. | | | The final muscle connected to the scapula is the deltoid, contributing to the strength of all shoulder movements. | | | As seen in the representation above, the muscles used for scapula movement and support for glenohumeral motion are attached to the medial border of the scapula. |

| | Fracture of the scapula -DynoMed.com |
| | The scapula can be fractured in 3 different areas: the body of the scapula; the neck of the scapula or glenoid (which connects the humerus—upper arm bone—to the shoulder joint); or the acromion process (which connects to the acromioclavicular joint bone in the shoulder). | | | The scapulas are the large, flat, triangular bones that form the back part of the shoulder. They are covered by muscles on both surfaces which attach to the ribs and spine and then to the muscles of the arm. | | | A broken scapula usually requires a simple arm sling to be worn for about 1-2. Shortly after, patients may be able to begin mild exercises for the scapula and shoulder joint. |

| | Winged Scapula |
| | A winged scapula is associated with damage or a contusion to the long thoracic nerve of the shoulder and / or weakness in the serratus anterior muscle. | | | A winged scapula is a shoulder injury or condition in which the scapula or shoulder blade sticks out at the back, particular when pushing against something such as a wall. | | | If the long thoracic nerve is damaged or bruised it can cause paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle and winging of the scapular or shoulder blade. |

| | Gross Anatomy: THE SHOULDER GIRDLE |
| | When the scapula is passively protracted by action of the pectoralis major muscle on the humerus, the serratus anterior acts to stabilize the scapula and keep it applied to the thoracic wall. | | | The shoulder or pectoral girdle consists of articulations between the clavicle, scapula and the proximal end of the humerus. | | | Elevation is raising the entire scapula upwards as in shrugging ones shoulder; depression is lowering the scapula. |

| | Shoulder1.com - Broken Scapula |
| | A broken scapula is often treated conservatively, meaning that an orthopedic specialist will manipulate the bones back into place and instruct the patient to wear a sling for two to three weeks. | | | As it is most often caused by an extremely strong blow, a broken scapula often accompanies other ailments, such as broken ribs, skull, or collarbone, a bruised or collapsed lung, and injury to the nerves between the shoulder and neck. | | | An extremely strong bone surrounded by muscle and soft tissue, the scapula is not often broken; broken scapulas represent less than 1 percent of all fractures in the body. |

| | Pain is often localised to the rhomboids and levator scapulae over the medial scapular border or the trapezius over the the medial aspect of the scapular spine. | | | The effect of this "bow-stringing" across a fascial tether would be further exacerbated with medial and upward migration of the superior scapula, as often occurs concurrent with shoulder girdle muscle strength imbalances common with deconditioning or injury to the dynamic scapular stabilizers. | | | The therapist passively positions the scapula in a neutral position, usually with the patient lying prone. |

| | Without treatment, a fractured scapula can result in chronic shoulder pain and disability. | | | To give you appropriate treatment, your doctor will probably need to take X-rays of your shoulder and chest to describe and classify the location(s) of fracture to the scapula. | | | Your doctor may want a detailed neurovascular examination, which may not be possible if you have other severe injuries. |

| | Scapula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The spine is a prominent plate of bone, which crosses obliquely the medial four-fifths of the dorsal surface of the scapula at its upper part, and separates the supra- from the infraspinatous fossa. | | | The central part of the supraspinatous fossa and the upper part of the infraspinatous fossa, but especially the former, are usually so thin as to be semitransparent; occasionally the bone is found wanting in this situation, and the adjacent muscles are separated only by fibrous tissue. | | | This projection is called the spine of the scapula. |
