Surgery for Sprengel's deformity can produce less lowering of the scapula than desired and occasionally can result in an injury to the brachial plexus or brachial artery. The method used to produce better correction and to avoid complications was a softening of a clavicle by the morcellization technique of Robinson et al. We feel that the procedure is a simple one which helps to improve the degree of correction and to avoid neurovascular complications. The procedure should be combined with the Woodward correction for Sprengel's deformity.
治疗先天性高肩胛症的手术可能无法使肩胛骨下降到预期的程度，偶尔还可能导致臂丛神经或肱动脉损伤。为了更好地进行矫正并避免并发症，采用了Robinson等人的碎骨术使锁骨软化的方法。我们认为该手术操作简单，有助于提高矫正程度并避免神经血管并发症。该手术应与治疗先天性高肩胛症的Woodward矫正术相结合。
