Abstract
Fractures of the scapula are infrequent injuries usually associated with direct, violent trauma to the shoulder girdle. We present a rare case of an avulsion fracture of the scapular spine occurring in a patient during a game of badminton. Open reduction and internal fixation with a tension band-wiring technique was performed. The patient had an uncomplicated recovery and rapidly returned to sporting activity.
