ABSTRACT
The importance of coordinated, normal scapulothoracic motion in facilitating full, pain-free motion of the shoulder complex has been increasingly studied over the past decade, leading to renewed interest in scapular-based reconstructions to improve shoulder girdle motion through the use of muscle advancements and tendon transfers. This article will review recent advances regarding scapulothoracic motion and the muscular stabilizers of the scapula, focusing on clinical diagnosis and anatomy as it pertains to scapular dyskinesis and common periscapular tendon transfers. Although many of these treatment techniques remain in their infancy and further follow-up is necessary before universal adoption, they provide a novel means of addressing difficult-to-treat and complex shoulder girdle pathologies.
