This report details a rare scapulothoracic dissociation case missed initially. Early diagnosis via radiograph interpretation and arteriography is crucial for managing life-threatening vascular injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Scapulothoracic dissociation is a rare and potentially devastating injury.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to severe complications, including vascular compromise.

Observation:

  • A case of scapulothoracic dissociation initially went undiagnosed.
  • Radiographic findings include lateral acromion dislocation and medial scapular border shift on chest X-rays.

Findings:

  • Accurate interpretation of radiographs is key to diagnosis.
  • Emergency subclavian arteriography is essential for vascular assessment.

Implications:

  • A high index of suspicion is necessary to avoid overlooking this dangerous injury.
