Winging Scapula Winging of the scapula is a surprisingly common physical sign, but because it is often asymptomatic it receives little attention. However, symptoms of pain, weakness, or cosmetic deformity may demand attention. Winging is also a useful sign to suggest underlying problems with the shoulder. Winging may be caused by injury or dysfunction of the muscles themselves or the nerves that supply the muscles. Causes: 1  Loss of serratus anterior muscle function. 2  Loss of trapezius muscle function. 3  Weakness of all the scapula stabilisers. 4  Loss of the scapular suspensory mechanism.

- The surgical procedure of choice for. scapular winging related to chronic trapezius muscle dysfunction involves. the lateral transfer of the insertions of the levator scapulae and the. rhomboid major and minor muscles. This procedure enables the muscles. to support the shoulder girdle and to stabilize the scapula.

Can Lifting Weights Cause a Winged Scapula? Can Lifting Weights Cause a Winged Scapula? Lifting weights can cause a number of injuries involving the shoulder and back, and many weightlifters wonder if a winged scapula can be one such injury. Especially of concern to some muscle building enthusiasts is whether or not the bench press—which puts a lot of stress on the shoulder joint—can cause a winged scapula.

- The scapula is commonly referred to as the shoulder blade. It connects the humerus bone of the arm to the collarbone. There are only three muscles that are responsible for enabling the movement of the shoulder blade.The trapezius muscle implants into the collarbone. small tendon attaches the levator to the upper area of the shoulder blade. This muscle is responsible for pulling up the scapula, which allows for the shrugging movement of the shoulders.

Scapula Inserting on the Scapula. 1  Trapezius muscle – it inserts superiorly along the spine, acromion process, and clavicle. 2  Levator scapulae muscle – they insert into the superior angle and medial border (superior to the spine). 3  Rhomboid major muscle – its insertion is the medial border (inferior to the spine).

- With regards to lateral scapular winging, the most common cause is iatrogenic injury to the spinal accessory nerve during cervical lymph node biopsy or mass excision. Figure A shows an example of lateral scapular winging caused by damage to the spinal accessory nerve, or cranial nerve XI.

Shoulder Sprain Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain. The acromioclavicular joint is supported by the acromioclavicular ligament and the coracoclavicular ligament at the outside end of the collarbone near the shoulder. They bind the shoulder blade and collarbone tightly together. It takes a lot of force to tear these ligaments. The most common causes of this type of shoulder sprain are either a strong, direct blow to the front or top part of the shoulder or trauma from a fall, especially during athletic training or competition.

Scapula However, because the medial aspect of the scapula is not directly attached to the axial skeleton, but is rather held in place and connected to the thorax and vertebral column by muscles, the scapula can move freely across the posterior thoracic wall (scapulothoracic joint).

Top 30 Doctor insights on: Winging Of Scapula Causes Scapular Winging: While there can be different reasons for a winged scapula, the most common one has to do with a muscle called the serratus anterior. Depending on the underlying reason, how it came about (e.g. Injury vs chronic), and severity, there are conservative ; surgical treatments.

Tendinous arch In anatomy, the scapula (plural scapulae or scapulas) or shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).Like their connected bones the scapulae are paired, with the scapula on the left side of the body being roughly a mirror image of the right scapula.our muscles attach to the medial border. Serratus anterior has a long attachment on the anterior lip. Three muscles insert along the posterior lip, the levator scapulae (uppermost), rhomboid minor (middle), and to the rhomboid major (lower middle). Left scapula.

Scapular Muscles These are all the muscles that connect and attach to the scapula (shoulder blade). These muscle are very important for shoulder health and often ignored when it comes to an exercise program or the recovery of a shoulder injury.he scapular muscles work with the rotator cuff and large shoulder muscles to move the shoulder, perform tasks that you ask and prevent injury. The weakest set of muscles in the shoulder are the scapular muscles.

- Winged Scapula Exercises. A winged scapula is usually as a result of weakened shoulder blade stabilisers, especially the Serratus Anterior. The serratus anterior is also known as the punching muscle. To target the Serratus Anterior directly, scapula protraction exercises work best along with serratus press exercises.

- Scapular Winging and Neurosomatic Therapy. The most notable characteristic of scapular winging is the tell-tale protrusion of the shoulder blade. Muscle contractions and nerve damage can cause an extreme loss of functionality in the affected arm(s). With scapular winging, the shoulder blade sticks out from the back. Patients may experience difficulty with daily activities and severe loss of function in the arm.

The Scapula This side of the scapula is relatively unremarkable, with a concave depression over most of its surface, called the subscapular fossa. The subscapularis muscle, one of the rotator cuff muscles, originates from this side. Originating from the superolateral surface of the costal scapula is the coracoid process.

Scapular fracture A scapular fracture is a fracture of the scapula, the shoulder blade.The scapula is sturdy and located in a protected place, so it rarely breaks. When it does, it is an indication that the individual was subjected to a considerable amount of force and that severe chest trauma may be present.he scapula is protected from the front by the ribcage and chest, and from the back it is protected by a thick layer of muscles. Also, the scapula is able to move, so traumatic forces exerted on it are dissipated, not absorbed by the bone. Thus a large amount of force is required to fracture it.

Winged Scapula What Is a Winged Scapula? Winging of the scapula due to long thoracic nerve (LTN) injury is a fairly common diagnosis and should be treated as a significant functional problem. The LTN originates from the cervical 5,6 and 7 nerve roots and innervates the serratus anterior muscle.
