Abstract

1. As Kalinowsky and Hoch indicate, fractures of the scapula are rare, but they do occur.

2. A loud snapping noise, such as the "snapping of a stepped-on bent twig" is considered a diagnostic sign for scapular fractures.

3. As a variety of complications do occur, though rarely, it is to be recommended that doctors doing electroshock treatment receive special instructions in regard to the electroshock unit and the possible complications.
