Q

Serratus Anterior

A

O: Lateral parts of ribs 1-8
I: medial/anterior border of scapula

Q

Damage to what nerve/muscle results in a winged scapula?

A

Damage to The Long Thoracic Nerve - innervates Serratus Anterior. Have pt push against wall, serratus anterior can’t hold scapula back so it pops up. Pt can’t abduct arm above 90 degrees.
