    AbstractA case of an angulated, greenstick fracture of the scapula mimicking scapular winging in a skeletally immature 12-year-old boy is described. The bony deformity was visualized with plain radiography. CT was helpful in exclusion of a thoracic injury or an underlying neoplasm. Closed reduction yielded satisfactory results. Based on this 1 case only, we recommend consideration of closed reduction in children with significantly angulated greenstick fractures of the scapula without underlying thoracic pathology.
