ABSTRACT

Case report of an angulated, greenstick fracture of the scapula mimic of scapular winging in a 14 year old boy, football player treated with closed reduction under anesthesia. It is an uncommon lesion and the proposed treatment for scapular greenstick fracture, if presented without any life-threatening injuries, is close reduction because it’s the most predictable treatment.
