Traumatic scapular winging is rare in pediatric athletes but treatable. Conservative management led to full recovery within six months for three young athletes with this shoulder injury.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Neuromuscular Injuries

Background:

  • Traumatic scapular winging is an uncommon condition in pediatric populations.
  • Athletic activities can place young athletes at risk for shoulder and scapular injuries.

Observation:

  • This report details three pediatric cases of traumatic scapular winging secondary to athletic injuries.
  • The injuries involved the shoulder region in young, active individuals.

Findings:

  • All three patients experienced resolution of scapular winging.
  • Conservative management strategies were employed for all cases.
  • The recovery period for each patient averaged six months.

Implications:
