Scapular fracture is present in about 1% of cases of blunt trauma [1] and 3–5% of shoulder injuries. [4] An estimated 0.4–1% of bone fractures are scapular fractures. [2] The injury is associated with other injuries 80–90% of the time. [1] Scapular fracture is associated with pulmonary contusion more than 50% of the time. [8]
This category reflects the organization of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision. Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes S40-S49 within Chapter XIX: Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes should be included in this category.
Medical history (the patient tells the doctor about an injury). For shoulder problems the medical history includes the patient's age, dominant hand, if injury affects normal work/activities as well as details on the actual shoulder problem including acute versus chronic and the presence of shoulder catching, instability, locking, pain, paresthesias (burning sensation), stiffness, swelling, and ...
A Type I AC separation involves direct trauma to the shoulder causing the injury to ligaments that form the joint, but no severe tearing or fracture. It is commonly referred to as a sprain. [10] For a type 1 AC separation, the joint does not lose stability. [5]
A winged scapula (left) Left scapula, anterior surface. Anatomic neck: red, Surgical neck: purple. Because of its sturdy structure and protected location, fractures of the scapula are uncommon. When they do occur, they are an indication that severe chest trauma has occurred. [15] Scapular fractures involving the neck of the scapula have two ...
It is believed that it takes at least four to six weeks for the labrum to re-attach itself to the scapula bone (shoulder blade), and probably another four to six weeks to get strong. The labrum is a ring of cartilage on the rim of a shallow socket in the scapula into which the head of the upper arm bone normally fits and rotates. [citation needed]

The range of motion is prohibited due to scapulohumeral rhythm changes occurring in the shoulder joint. The altered scapular kinematics can restrict anterior and posterior tilting, downward rotation and depression as well as external rotation. All of these restrictions lead the scapula to be excessively upwardly rotated.
