THE ROLE OF THE FIRST RIB IN THE SCALENUS ANTERIOR SYNDROME



Download PDF

Abstract

1. Dissections have been made of the cervico-brachial region.

2. The possible causes of the scalenus anterior syndrome are discussed and an attempt is made to relate them to the anatomical findings.

3. It is suggested that a more suitable description is the "first rib syndrome," and that the most logical treatment is to remove part of the offending first rib.
