Abstract
The winged scapula secondary to long thoracic nerve injury is an uncommon condition. It is most frequently reported in the literature associated with surgical activities, either due to poor positioning during anesthesia or by an iatrogenic traumatic event during surgical procedures. We expose 3 cases and a brief etiological and literature review, to present the multiple origins of this injury, which are not always related to this area of activity, as these are not the only causes of this injury.
