Traumatic detachment of the inferior angle of the scapula in a 5-year-old boy—a sonographic diagnosis
A complete slip of the cartilage of the inferior angle of the scapula was diagnosed in a 5-year-old boy who fell inside a wooden construction at a kindergarten playground. Radiographs of the scapula were normal, and ultrasound demonstrated complete cartilage detachment, which was displaced deep and...

description | A complete slip of the cartilage of the inferior angle of the scapula was diagnosed in a 5-year-old boy who fell inside a wooden construction at a kindergarten playground. Radiographs of the scapula were normal, and ultrasound demonstrated complete cartilage detachment, which was displaced deep and laterally. Computed tomography (CT) additionally demonstrated a thin rim of bone displaced along with the detached cartilage. Radiologic findings were confirmed during surgery. We report what we believe to be the first published case of traumatic detachment of the cartilaginous lower angle of the scapula in a child demonstrated by ultrasound. |
