We report a unique case of dynamic scapular winging due to compression of the long thoracic nerve by a ventral scapular osteochondroma, representing a combination of mechanical and neural causes. Arthroscopic resection of the lesion was performed, which led to complete resolution of the symptoms.
By reporting this case, we aimed to increase awareness of the importance of a correct etiological diagnosis of dynamic scapular winging, so that targeted treatment can be addressed. Arthroscopic resection seems ideal for this indication because it reduces the risk of complications and patient recovery time.
我们报告了一例由于前锯肌骨软骨瘤压迫胸长神经导致的动态肩胛翼状肩畸形的独特病例,这是机械性和神经性原因共同作用的结果。对病变进行了关节镜下切除,这导致了症状的完全缓解。
通过报告这个病例,我们旨在提高对动态肩胛翼状肩畸形的正确病因诊断的重要性的认识,以便针对治疗。关节镜下切除似乎是这种适应症的理想选择,因为它降低了并发症和患者康复时间的风险。
