How to correct shoulder blade protrusion

The shoulder blade protrusion is also called wing scapula. Butterfly scapula is often caused by problems with the muscles that fix the scapula, such as damage to the anterior serratus muscle or paralysis of the nerve that innervates the anterior serratus muscle. It is often manifested as the inner edge and lower edge of the scapula are tilted, and the upper arm is lifted up. The paralysis of the trapezius muscle causes the scapula to drop, resulting in bilateral neck line asymmetry. For shoulder blade protrusion, it is necessary to find out whether the specific muscle damage caused the shoulder blade protrusion, whether it is the muscle itself or the nerve damage that controls the muscle, often needs electromyography examination to make a diagnosis, and rehabilitation exercise can be carried out first to strengthen the stable muscle of the shoulder blade. If the shoulder blade protrusion can be relieved, no further treatment is needed. If the scapular protrusion does not respond significantly to conservative treatment, tendon transposition reconstruction surgery is often required to restore scapular stability.
