Abstract
A rare case of malformation of the scapula, a cleft scapula, has been encountered. This case is associated with type V ulnar longitudinal deficiency of the ipsilateral upper limb. The scapular malformation has been treated with fusion of the 2 parts, with good aesthetic and functional outcome. In this report, the clinical, radiological, and surgical findings, as well as the surgical technique, are described. Four cases of similar malformation have been reported in the literature, and they were described as complete scapular duplication. According to the current findings and reinterpretation of the previous reports, this malformation is better called cleft scapula rather than scapular duplication.
