scapula question - gogirl

The patient follows up six months status-post PCL anterior labral repair.

She is having dropout and SICK scapular syndrome.

I can't find the term dropout anywhere.  Thanks.

Yes, it is SICK scapula syndrome as you heard. Also known as scapular rotator dysfunction.

I need 40 more winks! I did find a "shoulder drop" on the Medscape website related to breast prosthesis vs shoulder drop. Dropout could be another way of saying a shoulder drop. But I could find nothing on my search for "dropout" per se related to a medical condition. Have I totally buried myself now?

thanks - gogirl
