Congenital high scapularis

This disease is a rare congenital malformation. The feature is that the scapula is in a high position, the affected shoulder is higher than the healthy side, the upper arm of the affected limb is restricted in movement of the upper arm, and the ribs, neck, and thoracic spine can be combined at the same time. First described by Enlenber in 1863. In 1891, Sprengel reported 4 cases and discussed the cause, so this disease is also called Sprengel deformity.
