The scapula is held against the thoracic wall by many muscles and the strut of the clavicle secondarily attaching it to the manubrium. The scapulothoracic joint is where the complex scapular movements in relation to the thoracic cage occur: elevation and depression, protration and retraction and medial and lateral rotation.
