An Unrecognised Case of a Scapula Fracture Sustained through an Unusual Indirect Mechanism

الملخص EN

Scapula fractures following low-velocity injuries are extremely rare but can be a missed associated fracture of other upper limb injuries.

We describe the case of a patient who sustained a fracture of the scapula through an unusual and hitherto unreported indirect mechanism.

The injury was associated with a radial head fracture and initially missed on presentation.

This case highlights the need for increased vigilance when diagnosing injuries with unusual mechanisms.
