Arthroscopic Treatment of Snapping Scapula (Scapulothoracic Bursectomy)
Dr. Millett is expert in treating Scapulothoracic Bursitis--also known as Snapping Scapula.
A snapping scapula (shoulderblade) is the description given to a condition of the shoulder that can cause a range of symptoms most often associated with a painful clicking, grinding or snapping of the shoulderblade area. A snapping scapula can be caused by muscle tears, fractures, rheumatoid diseases and sports-related or traumatic injuries.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can help treat this condition. This video: Arthroscopic treatment of snapping scapula or scapulothoracic bursectomy offers an in-depth, live surgical review of this procedure.
