Possible Causes

Long Thoracic Nerve Palsy

What causes winged scapula? A winged scapula is a symptom of another condition, rather than an injury itself. [sportsinjuryclinic.net]

A winged scapula is an injury in which the scapula (shoulder blade) sticks out in the back. [nerve.wustl.edu]

Physical examination typically reveals medial deviation of the inferior angle of the scapula and prominent winging of the medial border of the scapula with backward pressure [neuropaxclinic.com]
