Scapula fracture

As for the scapula, the wide part of it rarely breaks, and if a fracture of the scapula occurs, it most often affects the edges, sides and processes; when a fracture occurs, it is recognized by the touch and by the tingling sensation that accompanies it. But often a crack occurs in the scapula, which is indicated by roughness determined by touch, as well as local pain and tingling, if any, as well as the absence of other signs of a fracture. Sometimes there is also a fracture of the scapula medially, and this is indicated by the resulting depression and a slight crunch, which is heard by the ear during recognition, as well as numbness that occurs in the adjacent arm, or pain. Treatment here also consists of gentle pulling and a skillful approach while pushing from the front and leveling. Sometimes, it seems to me, cupping is also required, which pulls back and straightens the bone, but one must be careful that this does not cause harm if the cupping attracts matter to the sore spot.

As for the processes of the scapula, if they move during a fracture, tingle and irritate, they must be removed, but if they are motionless, they are straightened and bandaged with bandages similar to bandages for the collarbone. And a person with a broken shoulder blade should only lie on his healthy side, not otherwise.
