Trapezius Tear Causing Scapular Winging Treated with Rhomboid Transfer and Achilles Allograft Reconstruction: A Case Report.

Published in: JBJS case connector (2021)
Scapular winging can be caused by a muscle tear in absence of a nerve injury. This patient underwent latissimus dorsi origin repair and superior and middle trapezius repairs. An Achilles allograft was used to reconstruct her lower trapezius to provide static restraint to her scapula, while a rhomboid major transfer was performed to provide dynamic restraint.
