This study details an extremely rare case of partial scapular duplication in a newborn. An extra shoulder bone was found, articulating with the glenoid but not limiting joint movement.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

  • Congenital shoulder deformities require thorough investigation.
  • Early diagnosis of skeletal anomalies is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A newborn presented with mild shoulder asymmetry.
  • Imaging studies including radiography, ultrasonography, and CT revealed an accessory ossicle near the left scapula.

Findings:

  • A partial scapular duplication, presenting as an accessory bone, was identified.
  • This bone articulated with the glenoid, causing inferior displacement of the humeral head.
  • Despite the articulation, the shoulder joint maintained a normal range of motion.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of scapular anomalies.
  • Highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare congenital skeletal variations.
  • Suggests that some accessory ossicles may not significantly impair joint function.
