Dr. Douglas Abeles answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Shoulder Blade: If the shoulder blade is sticking out, this could possibly be what is known as winging of the scapula. Usually caused by a nerve injury. Therapy and strengthening exercises may help but unfortunately in can sometimes be permanent.
