A member asked:
Can posterior rib fractures cause snapping scapula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if multiple: Snapping scapula syndrome arises from either a soft-tissue or a skeletal anomaly within the scapulothoracic space that creates a cracking sound during scapulothoracic motion that patients associate with pain.
