Abstract
A 28-year-old woman with fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy was treated with a one-stage bilateral scapulothoracic fusion. At operation, cortical allografts with screw fixation for anchorage were used, supplemented with autologous cancellous bone. A proper balance and symmetry of the shoulder girdle can be restored more easily when fusion is performed bilaterally at the same time.
