Abstract des Autors
Winging of the scapula most commonly results when trauma or overuse injures the long thoracic nerve. However, as these two case studies illustrate, the diagnosis might not be initially obvious, and the etiology can be overlooked. Scapular winging may have an unusual cause. Thus, when the mechanism ofinjury is not clear, acareful workup is particularly critical. Although most cases oflong thoracic neuropathy resolve with conservative treatment, surgery is sometimes needed. Most active individuals can return to full activity. Verf.-Referat
