Résumé :

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°) 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.
