Scapular fracture is associated with pulmonary contusion more than 50% of the time.
When activating together, the upper and lower fibers also assist the middle fibers (along with other muscles such as the rhomboids) with scapular retraction/adduction.
This has evolved in various way among different congregations, from wearing the full rochet to the wearing of a white tunic and scapular.
They wear a white soutane or tunic, and over it a black pendant sash, a black scapular and an elbow-length black cape called a mozzetta.
A nun's costume included the tunic, the scapular and the head veil.
A surviving garment similar to the medieval tabard is the monastic scapular.
This anastomosis is a ring circulation around the scapula where it continues to the suprascapular artery via the circumflex scapular artery.
With scapular instability, movement in the upper extremity is limited as the scapula can not guide the desired movement of the arm and shoulders.
