A member asked:
Has anyone ever treated winged scapula before from an injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A winged scapula means that the muscles that hold the scapula onto the ribcage and stabilize it for arm movements are weak or paralyzed, often from injuries. There are rehabilitation programs for these types of problems to try to strengthen the weakened muscles as well as use other muscles to compensate.
