 Abstract
 PDF
- Scapulothoracic dissociation is rare injury and as a result of severe shoulder girdle trauma. muptiple fractures of the upper extremity and closed disruption of scapula from the thorax are combined with damage to the local neurovascular structures, brachial plexus and subclavian artery.
Tracitionally, above-the-elbow amputation and shoulder arthrodesis have been used to treat the flail upper extremity.
Now we experienced two cases of scapulothoracic dissociation managed by forequarter amputation, shoulder and above-the elbow amputation and then present two cases of scapulothoracic dissociation through case and textbook review.
