Use of the clavicular part of the pectoralis major in treatment of failed revision osteosynthesis of the clavicle.

Background: Symptomatic atrophic nonunion after multiple clavicle osteosynthesis can be difficult to treat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of a transfer of the clavicular part of the pectoralis major muscle as augmentation of osteosynthesis of these nonunions.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study included all patients who were treated between 2001 and 2010 (minimum 2-year follow-up).

The pillars of the scapula.

Total shoulder replacement has been shown to provide predictable pain relief and functional improvement in patients with glenohumeral arthritis.

The component most widely used is an all-polyethylene keeled or pegged design cemented to the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
