Treatment of winged scapula by pectoralis major transfer

J Iceton and WR Harris

We report the transfer of the sternal part of the pectoralis major to the lower pole of the scapula in 15 patients with winged scapula. At follow-up after 1 to 16 years nine had a satisfactory result and were gainfully employed, though in four of these re-operation had been necessary. Two patients had fair results; the transplant functioned, but they had limited voluntary control. Four were failures: two had had paralysis of other shoulder girdle muscles in addition to the serratus anterior. The indications for the operation are discussed.
