Surgical Correction of Posttraumatic Scapulothoracic Bursitis, Rhomboid Major Muscle Injury, Ipsilateral Glenohumeral Instability, and Headaches Resulting from Circus Acrobatic Maneuvers

<div>(a) Drawing of cross-sectional anatomy. The arrow shows the plane of dissection between the rhomboid major (RM) and the medial scapula (S), which allows access to the scapulothoracic bursa (STB). This bursa is in the space between the serratus anterior (SA) muscle and rib cage (R). IS, infraspinatus, (IS); SS, subscapularis. (b) Drawing of posterior view. The inferior trapezius (T) is retracted, exposing the rhomboid major (RM) muscle. The rhomboid major muscle is retracted, exposing the scapulothoracic bursa (STB), thus confirming the proper dissection plane (drawings reproduced from Nicholson and Duckworth (2002) with permission of Elsevier B.V.).</div>
