Ten patients who had arthrodesis of their flail shoulders secondary to poliomyelitis were reviewed. The average age at the time of surgery was 15 years, 3 months, and follow-up range from one year eight months to seven years. Union occurred in each case, and no reoperations were required. Internal fixation was used for each patient, and this maintained the position of arthrodesis. All patients were significantly improved. Optimal position of fusion seems to be in 30 degrees of abduction, 30 degrees of forward flexion, and 45 degrees of internal rotation.
对10例因小儿麻痹症导致连枷肩而行关节融合术的患者进行了回顾性研究。手术时的平均年龄为15岁3个月，随访时间从1年8个月至7年不等。每例均实现了骨愈合，无需再次手术。每位患者均采用了内固定，这维持了关节融合的位置。所有患者均有显著改善。融合的最佳位置似乎是外展30度、前屈30度和内旋45度。
