Scapular winging in young athletes.
Traumatic winging of the scapula is not common in children. We report three cases of athletic injuries resulting in scapular winging. With conservative management, each patient resolved in a 6-month period. Scapular winging should be considered in all injuries about the shoulder in young athletes.
