Inferior scapula avulsion fractures are rare injuries, with few cases reported and only a small number managed operatively discussed in the literature. We report the case of a man in his 40s who fell from a height and presented with right-sided scapular winging and point tenderness at the inferior pole of his right scapula with no neurological deficit. Radiographs and CT diagnosed avulsion fracture of the inferior scapula. The patient underwent surgical fixation and, following a course of physiotherapy, successfully recovered with no residual winging and full range of movement.

Scapular swelling: "subcutaneous cysticercosis unveiled"-a case report.
J Med Case Rep
December 2024
Department of General Medicine, INHS Asvini, Mumbai, India.
Background: Cysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by the larval stages of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, predominantly affects cerebral and ocular tissues. The subcutaneous manifestation of this disease is a relatively uncommon clinical occurrence. Previously very few or no cases of cysticercosis presenting as subcutaneous solitary painful swelling have been reported in the literature.

From the Department of Nuclear Medicine, The Third Hospital, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China.
A 59-year-old man presented with a mass and pain in the left side of his back for 6 months. 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated increased FDG uptake in the inferior aspect of his left scapula and the left hepatic lobe, highly suggesting the possibility of hepatic malignancy with solitary scapula metastasis. Finally, solitary scapula metastasis from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was confirmed.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington, Washington, United States.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of lumbar stabilization on muscle activity, muscle onset time, and scapular kinematics in individuals with scapular dyskinesis. Fourteen participants with scapular dyskinesis were recruited. Scapular muscle activity and activation onset time were measured by electromyography (EMG), and scapular upward rotation was measured by two-dimensional (2-D) Kinovia software, under two conditions: with and without abdominal bracing.

Shoulder Elbow
September 2024
R & D Shoulder Reconstruction, DePuySynthes, Raynham, MA, USA.
Since the original Grammont design of a reverse shoulder arthroplasty there has been a trend to decrease inclination angle from 155° to 145 or 135°. Furthermore, lateralization on the glenoid side has been advocated. These changes decrease the risk for impingement between humerus and the inferior part of the glenoid (notching).

3D Print Med
November 2024
GE HealthCare, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) printed anatomic models are valuable clinical tools that facilitate enhanced visualization of pertinent anatomic structures and have demonstrated benefits of reduced surgical times, increased surgeon confidence, and improved operative results and subsequent patient outcomes. Medical image-based 3D printed anatomic models are generally created from computed tomography (CT), however magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which offers exquisite soft tissue characterization and flexible contrast avoiding the use of ionizing radiation, is an attractive alternative. Herein, the application of 3D printing incorporating both MR neurography and zero-echo time (ZTE) MRI for visualization of the brachial plexus anatomy in a subject with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is described.
