Scapular resection

It is suitable for children with 3 to 7 years old with severe deformity of scapula and obvious dysfunction. The principle of surgery is to loosen the soft tissues around the scapula, lower the scapula to the normal position, remove the bony and muscular connections that hinder the scapula from falling, and pay attention to avoid blood vessel and nerve damage.
