Summary
Scapula fractures are rare, with non-union being even rarer. This case report details a successful novel treatment for a symptomatic scapular body non-union using acellular dermal extracellular matrix and bone graft.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Traumatology
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Scapula fractures are uncommon, representing 1% of all fractures and 3-5% of upper extremity fractures.
- Non-operative treatment is generally successful for scapula fractures, but non-union of the scapular body is exceptionally rare.
- Previous literature reports only two cases of scapular body non-union, both successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

01:23Muscles of the Shoulder
9.4K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.

01:31Muscles that Move the Arm
5.1K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...
