Which region corresponds to the shoulder blade?

The shoulder blade sits on the back as the scapula, so the surface region that maps to it is the scapular region. This area covers the patch of skin overlying the scapula on the upper back. The other terms refer to different parts: vertebral region runs along the spine, sural is the calf region, and frontal refers to the front of the head and trunk.
