0 a long piece of clothing that hangs from the shoulders, worn over other clothes by Christian monks (= religious men who live as a group)
1 relating to the scapula (= the shoulder blade):
a scapular fracture
Hair on the acromial and infracervical area and over the thoracic region of the back, with bare patches above the area occupied by the scapular.
There was a continuous murmur heard at the right second intercostal space, and also in the left axilla and the left scapular region.
If the lesion occurs more distally involving the upper trunk, the dorsal scapular and long thoracic nerves are spared, preserving rhomboid and serratus anterior muscle function.
Periscapular weakness causes scapular winging.
However, displaced fractures in the scapular processes or in the glenoid do interfere with movement in the affected shoulder if they are not realigned properly.
The clothing of the sisters consisted of a white tunic and scapular, a leather belt, a black mantle, and a black veil.
The glenopolar angle is mainly used within the field of scapular surgery (for example, due to a scapular neck fracture).
With scapular instability, movement in the upper extremity is limited as the scapula can not guide the desired movement of the arm and shoulders.
