Scapular winging, a common disorder, stems from various causes and is classified into primary, secondary, or voluntary types. Each category has distinct origins and requires specific evaluation and treatment approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Scapular winging is a recognized scapulothoracic disorder.
  • It arises from diverse pathological conditions affecting the shoulder girdle.
  • Understanding its classification is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To classify scapular winging into primary, secondary, and voluntary types.
  • To delineate the causes and characteristics of each classification.
  • To outline the evaluation and treatment strategies for each type.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on scapular winging.
  • Categorization of causes into neurologic, bone, soft-tissue, glenohumeral, subacromial, and psychological factors.

  • Discussion of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • Primary scapular winging results from neurologic injury, bone pathology, or soft-tissue abnormalities.
    • Secondary scapular winging is linked to glenohumeral and subacromial issues, resolving upon primary condition treatment.
    • Voluntary scapular winging lacks an anatomic cause and may indicate psychological factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Scapular winging is a multifactorial condition with distinct classifications.
    • Accurate diagnosis based on type is essential for targeted treatment.
    • Management strategies should address the underlying etiology for optimal outcomes.
