It is called a winged scapula and can be due to many causes but is usually due to a weakness in a muscle called serratus anterior. The weakness could be in the muscle itself or the nerve that sends impulses to it.

Scapula pain is cause by what?
Scapula pain can be confused with many other things. First you should have a thorough examination to make sure that the pain you think is in your scapula isn't actually something else. Basically if the pain is actually the scapula there are 2 possibilities: 1. Snapping Scapula Syndrome which can sometimes be helped with some treatment and physical therapy. Though, from personal experience a very similar pain seems to be on the rise among young men who lift weights. In that case, a reduction in specifically the "bench press" or other pectoralis workouts seems to help; especially when a focus on opposing back muscles is encouraged. A stronger back is frequently helpful. 2. A pinched nerve which could be from the location itself being caused by a structural deformity in the scapula or more proximally from a pinched nerve root in the neck. Hope this helps, Omar

What muscles is responsible for the movement of scapula depression?
The movement of the scapula is largely determined by the position of the shoulder girdle as a whole. As a "floating bone" the scapula is often at the mercy of the more fixed extremities and can be acted upon by several different muscles simultaneously. That being said, the prime mover responsible for scapular depression is the trapezius (specifically the lower fibers). Other muscles which act as stabilizers or synergists in scapular depression and eventual scapular protraction are the subscapularis, the serratus anterior and the lower fibers of latissimus dorsi.
