摘要
We describe a method of exposing the whole length of the axillary and suprascapular nerves through a sabre-cut incision. The coracoid process is osteotomised and part of trapezius is detached from its insertions. The posterior deltoid is freed from its scapular origin to expose infraspinatus. We have used this approach to explore combined injuries of the axillary and suprascapular nerves with good results, and no serious complications. Its success depends on a meticulous surgical technique.
