Abstract

Scapulothoracic articulation disorders may cause significant malfunction of the shoulder girdle. Scapular winging, dyskinesia, crepitus and bursitis are different pathological entities associated with the scapulothoracic joint. Their pathogenesis is a combination of anatomic, posture, traumatic and neuromuscular alterations. In this monography, the causes, diagnosis and treatment of the scapulothoracic disorders will be discussed.
