Sumario:Fractures of the scapular spine are relatively uncommon. We report a case of a 39 year old male who developed an atrophic non-union scapular spine fracture entering the spino-glenoid notch. We describe our experience with this rare fracture pattern and identify the need for early internal fixation in the young, active and working population.
