The patients underwent a surgical treatment consisting of transfer of the sternal head of the pectoralis major muscle to the vertebral edge of the scapula. Two patients were females and 3 males aged 28.8 years as an average, with range of 17-40 years. The average time of development of lesion before treatment was 17.8 months, with a range of 13-22 months. The abduction average of the patients´ shoulders before treatment was 78° but after treatment, abduction average reached 171°. Results were excellent in 2 patients (40%) and good in 3 patients.
