D M Williamson et al. J Trauma. 1988 May.

Abstract

Avulsion of the cranial margin of the scapula is a rare injury. A case of bilateral avulsion fractures is reported. The postulated mechanism of injury is a powerful contraction of the omohyoid muscle avulsing its insertion. Conservative management was successful.
