Resumen
MARTINEZ-GARCIA, P.; SIBON OLANO, A.; MARTINEZ PEREZ-CRESPO, P.M. y VIZCAYA ROJAS, M.A.. Sharp injury and winged scapula: about a case. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.4, pp.235-238. ISSN 1988-611X.
The danger of incised wounds is determined by their position and the underlying vital structures, and the ones localized in the torax are more serius. Cervical lesions get worse vital pronostic when they affect great vessels and the airway. This could result in the disability of the nerves which flow in this area. In the next article, we present one left lateral-cervical incised wound case, with an accesory nerve (spinal accesory nerve or XI C.N.) disorder (neurotmesis), which determine the appearance of a winged scapula. The winged scapula is the characteristic sign of this lesion.
