1) "shoulder bone" is usually spelled as two words, without a hyphen. e.g. [1]
2) "shoulder bone" refers to a single bone, the scapula.
shoulder bone : either of two flat triangular bones one on each side of the shoulder in human beings; scapula; shoulder blade [2]
3) The following Wikipedia article makes it clear that 肩膀 refers to not just the scapula, but the entire shoulder, which is made up of three bones – clavicle, scapula and humerus – as well as the associated tissues. For example, they state that the shoulder is the upper body equivalent of the buttocks. 肩,俗稱肩膀,是動物軀幹和上肢的交接點,與其相對的部位是臀。[...] [3]
4) Dictionaries (e.g. HDC) define 肩胛 as 肩膀, which means "shoulder" rather than "scapula".
5) Examples:
一手抓住西門慶肩胛,一手提起他的左腿 [it's not easy to grab someone's scapula]
體驗肩胛放鬆的舒適感。 [it's in the shoulder that they feel relaxed, not in scapula specifically]

This entry has a reference, "vkura264a9", and I've now been able to check Kuraishi. He defines 肩胛 as 肩胛骨, which is indeed Japanese for "scapula". Although I don't see that sense in other sources, you may like to undo my edit, given what Kuraishi says.

Also, Grand Ricci defines 肩胛 as "région scapulaire; omoplate", and "omoplate" means "scapula".
