Scapular fracture is present in about 1% of cases of blunt trauma [1] and 3–5% of shoulder injuries. [4] An estimated 0.4–1% of bone fractures are scapular fractures. [2] The injury is associated with other injuries 80–90% of the time. [1] Scapular fracture is associated with pulmonary contusion more than 50% of the time. [8]
Repetitive shoulder movements, overhead, swinging, throwing or circling movement can cause musculoskeletal injury. [16] Some cases can result in spinal cord damage at the C3-C5 levels, producing a myelopathy which can dramatically compromise overall movements in arm and legs as well as other fine motor functions .

[3] There is a loss of the ability to move the shoulder, both voluntarily and by others, in multiple ...
A soft tissue injury is the damage of muscles, ligaments and tendons throughout the body. Common soft tissue injuries usually occur from a sprain, strain, a one-off blow resulting in a contusion or overuse of a particular part of the body. Soft tissue injuries can result in pain, swelling, bruising and loss of function. [1]
