Avoid: Scapular winging is extremely common! 98% cases will not require surgery . Only those that are due to congenital abnormalities or nerve injury would require surgery( and even those after careful discussion of other non-operative options). Surgical treatment for scapular winging is complex and associated w/ several complications. See a board cert. Ors who specializes in shoulders.Best of luck!
