PURPOSE: @entity1 with @entity5511 ( @entity5511 ) have a cosmetic and functional problem due to limited shoulder abduction. Treatment options include excision of the prominent superior angle, scapular relocation procedures and subtotal scapulectomy. Excision of the superomedial angle results only in cosmetic improvement. Subtotal scapulectomy and relocation procedures are associated with ugly scars, extensive @entity548 and high incidence of @entity2685 . @entity346 ( @entity346 ) is another surgical option that provides cosmetic and functional improvement. The aim of this study is to assess medium to long term results of @entity346 in treatment of @entity5511 . METHODS: This is a prospective case series study. Seven @entity1 with @entity5511 were treated at our unit. Age ranged from 5-13  years with an average of 8.4  years. All @entity1 were females with unilateral affection. All @entity1 underwent a @entity346 as described by Campbell. We used the Cavendish grading system together with combined shoulder abduction for assessment. Follow up averaged 4.6  years. RESULTS: All @entity1 and parents were extremely satisfied with the results of surgery. All @entity1 experienced an improvement in global shoulder abduction with an average gain in abduction of 52.9  . All @entity1 experienced an improvement in cosmetic appearance with better shoulder levelling. The Cavendish grade improved in all @entity1 . CONCLUSION: This study emphasizes the results of previous authors demonstrating that @entity5511 can be treated successfully with a @entity346 . The procedure is simple and its results are reproducible.
