A scapular fracture is a fracture of the scapula the shoulder blade. The scapula is sturdy and located in a protected place so it rarely breaks. When it does it is an indication that the individual was subjected to a considerable amount of force and that severe chest trauma may be present. High-speed vehicle accidents are the most common cause.
