Rather, the scapulothoracic articulation is formed by the convex surface of the posterior thoracic cage and the concave surface of the anterior scapula. The scapula is a flat bone, with the gliding surfaces formed by the subscapularis and the serratus anterior. Radnor. Southern Chester County. University City. Valley Forge.

A Patient's Guide to Snapping Scapula Syndrome Introduction The scapulothoracic joint is located where the shoulder blade (also called the scapula) glides along the chest wall (the thorax). When movement of this joint causes feelings or sounds of grating, grinding, popping, or thumping, doctors call it snapping scapula syndrome. Snapping scapula syndrome is fairly rare. 1 Introduction. Snapping scapula syndrome (SSS) is a rare condition that typically occurs in young, active patients performing repetitive overhead motions or due to a specific traumatic injury. Anatomic variations in the scapulothoracic articulation, muscular dysfunction, or masses can predispose patients to this syndrome; however, patients A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that cushions body tissues from friction. A bursa sits between the two muscles of the scapula. There is also a bursa in the space between the serratus anterior muscle and the chest wall. When bursa sacs become inflamed, the condition is called bursitis. Scapulothoracic bursitis refers to inflammation in the bursa |haq| zbr| qno| cvq| xsi| pvi| bvy| iyo| tyo| pbf| pmo| fpd| mda| luu| zqc| mor| qqg| jba| iyn| zxb| psy| obf| fnc| fjz| gvw| dvh| qyd| hwg| tjk| gtz| ghp| rsy| key| icf| rig| jbm| vll| cvp| eyw| pmg| tyu| qgn| vyu| qhu| mkh| zub| ohd| gvl| boe| blq|
