SNAPPING SCAPULA SYNDROME IS RARE CONDITION BUT CAN BE TREATED WITH ARTHROSCOPIC RESECTION

While this condition is rare, it is seen more commonly in the military population due to the unique load bearing activities of the shoulder girdle. While activity modification can be helpful in some, active patients can benefit from arthroscopic bursectomy and superomedial scapular resection. (Thomas DM, Hansen UD, Owens BD.
