Abstract

Pseudo-winging of the scapula and scapular snapping are two clinical signs of upper girdle insufficiency. The association of these two signs is highly suggestive, if not pathognomonic, of exostosis of the ventral aspect of the scapula. Resection of the exostosis is recommended to prevent pain and sarcomatous degeneration.
