Abstract
The results of treatment of seven children with Sprengel deformity are reviewed. The patients were subjected to a modified Green procedure without dissection of the serratus anterior muscle and immediate postoperative mobilization. The results seem to indicate that the postoperative abduction gain (77 degrees) compares favorably in regard to the current literature and that this modification of the classic technique offers a substantial advantage concerning functional outcome in these patients.
