Pedicled Pectoralis Major Transfer for Axillary Nerve Palsy and Greater Tuberosity Nonunion
A PM transfer for deltoid and rotator cuff insufficiency restored shoulder stability and improves biomechanics for shoulder abduction and flexion in this case. Dynamic radiography demonstrates enhanced fluidity of shoulder kinematics with improved scapulohumeral motion.
