Article Synopsis
- - Pain at the upper scapula is common and can radiate to other areas like the neck and shoulder; causes can be varied, sometimes no clear reason is found.
- - A study on body donors shows that specific muscles (rhomboid minor and levator scapulae) are interconnected with connective tissue, which may contribute to understanding the cause of scapular pain.
- - Dissecting these connections reveals they play a role in stabilizing the scapula, and tension in these areas could affect pain symptoms and treatment outcomes.

The semitendinosus tendon was harvested whereupon snapping has diminished. Tenoscopy and digital palpation showed the semimembranosus tendon to cause the snapping, as well.
