The term ‘winged scapula’ (also scapula alata) is used when the muscles of the scapula are too weak or paralyzed, resulting in a limited ability to stabilize the scapula. As a result, the medial or lateral borders of the scapula protrudes from back, like wings. The main reasons for this condition are musculoskeletal- and neurological-related.
This article will review the relevant anatomy, etiology, clinical evaluation, diagnostic testing, and treatment of scapular winging. It will also discuss the differences in diagnosis and management between scapular winging arising from neurogenic causes and traumatic muscular detachment.
13 Μαρ 2023 · A primary winged scapula results from an injury to the nerve, changes in the scapula bone itself, or periscapular soft tissue abnormalities. Remember, the serratus anterior muscle attaches to the medial aspect of the scapula and attaches it to the rib cage.

1 Ιαν 2014 · This review explores the causes of scapula winging, with overview of the relevant anatomy, proposed aetiology and treatment. Particular focus is given to lesions of the long thoracic nerve, which is reported to be the most common aetiological factor.
Scapular winging is a rare disorder often caused by neuromuscular imbalance in the scapulothoracic stabilizer muscles. Lesions of the long thoracic nerve and spinal accessory nerves are the most common cause. Numerous underlying etiologies have been described.
