Scapulothoracic dissociation: a rare variant: a case report.
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal 2014 July
ABSTRACT: Scapulothoracic dissociation is a rare injury involving separation of scapula from the thorax along with the upper extremity. Majority of the patients have concomitant neurovascular injury and the prognosis is uniformly poor in such cases. We present a case of scapulothoracic dissociation with comminuted fracture of scapula and acromioclavicular joint disruption without neurovascular deficit. There were associated avulsion fractures of the spinous processes of vertebrae (T3-T5). Such presentation is rare in an already rare scapulothoracic dissociation injury. A discussion regarding the probable mechanism of injury, management and prognosis is presented.
KEY WORDS: scapulothoracic dissociation, scapula fracture, brachial plexus injury, vascular injury.
