We report the case of a scapular body fracture that was visualized with ultrasound and confirmed with three-dimensional CT. Ultrasound examination showed a comminuted fracture along the lateral border of the left scapula. We suggest scanning of the scapula, particularly the lateral scapula border, in patients with a history of shoulder trauma who continue to have symptoms in the shoulder girdle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
