Abstract
Scapulothoracic dissociation (SD) was first recognized as a distinct traumatic injury pattern in 1984. This case report and review of the literature will be a comprehensive description of this syndrome and its management. Although the extremity prognosis of this injury is poor, patient outcome can be optimized so that the patient can be returned to the best possible functional status in the most expedient manner.
