Scapulothoracic dissociation (SCTD) is a rare shoulder injury caused by severe force. This case highlights typical imaging findings of SCTD and brachial plexus damage, notably without vascular injury.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Scapulothoracic dissociation (SCTD) is a rare and severe injury involving the disruption of the shoulder girdle from the thoracic cage.
  • It is typically caused by significant rotational forces and is associated with high rates of morbidity, including massive blood loss.
  • The condition often involves major fractures, soft tissue disruption, and neurovascular damage.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient presenting with classical radiological findings consistent with scapulothoracic dissociation.
  • The imaging revealed significant brachial plexus injury, a common complication of SCTD.
  • Notably, this presentation excluded associated vascular damage, which is frequently reported in similar cases.

Findings:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The radiological findings confirmed scapulothoracic dissociation (SCTD).
  • Brachial plexus injury was evident, correlating with clinical presentation.
  • Vascular damage, often a hallmark of severe SCTD, was absent in this case.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing diverse presentations of SCTD, even in the absence of vascular compromise.
    • It highlights the utility of advanced imaging in diagnosing SCTD and associated brachial plexus injuries.
    • Understanding these variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognosis in patients with scapulothoracic dissociation.
