N2  - We report the case of a 16-year-old boy who sustained a minimally displaced fracture of the inferior angle of the scapula during a high school football game. This fracture progressed to symptomatic nonunion and persistent pain. Treatment included curettage of loose, fibrous tissue interposed at the fracture site; fragment excision; range-of-motion exercises started early in the postoperative period, and progressive scapula strengthening. Four and a half months after initial injury, the patient returned to all activities and was asymptomatic.    Keywords: American football <p />  <p>Language: en</p>
