This project aims to provide a thorough and current review of scapulothoracic bursitis and the snapping scapula syndrome and educate the radiologist about imaging findings, diagnosis, and management. 

-Review the anatomy of the scapulothoracic articulation including its major components; the bony structure, muscular anatomy, scapulothoracic bursae, and neurovascular anatomy. -Describe the different causes of STB and snapping scapula syndrome, and their appearances on radiography, CT, MRI and ultrasound. -Discuss the clinical manifestations of STB and snapping scapula syndrome including crepitus and specific neuromuscular deficits. -Examine treatment options including ultrasound or CT guided aspiration and/or injection, resection of osseous lesions such as osteochondromas, superomedial angle scapular resection, and bursectomy.
