Winged scapula, a scapula that sticks out from the posterior chest like an angel’s wing, is commonly caused by weakness or paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle. The condition is most noticeable when the hand is pushed against a wall, or used to open a door as seen in protraction against resistance.

The long thoracic nerve arises from the anterior rami of the fifth to seventh cervical nerves (the C5, C6, and C7 roots of the brachial plexus). Fibers from each of these three roots break off in the neck and merge to form the long thoracic nerve.

The long thoracic nerve runs inferiorly and laterally, passing between the clavicle and the first rib. It continues inferiorly, posterior to the rest of the brachial plexus, along the lateral margin of the ribs, roughly at the mid-axillary line. Running along the superficial surface of the serratus anterior, it innervates each of the slips of this muscle.

Treatment for long thoracic nerve (LTN) damage focuses primarily on addressing the resulting weakness in the serratus anterior muscle and managing medial scapular winging. Because nerve regeneration is a slow process, management is typically conservative in the first instance, with surgical options reserved for persistent or severe cases.
