%X Scapular fracture is exceptional in children, mainly
occurring after high-energy trauma. Radiologic investigations help its
diagnosis and classification, <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">which
determines its management. We report the case of a 14-year-old patient</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> admitted for blunt trauma of the left shoulder after falling from a speeding </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">car. The diagnosis of a displaced fracture of the
body of the scapula was made</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, and non-operative treatment was indicated
and carried out for four weeks, followed by physiotherapy for another four
weeks. Nine weeks after the trauma, the mobility of the affected shoulder was
equivalent to that of the contralateral shoulder.</span>
