We report the transfer of the sternal part of the pectoralis major to the lower pole of the scapula in 15 patients with winged scapula. At follow-up after 1 to 16 years nine had a satisfactory result and were gainfully employed, though in four of these re-operation had been necessary. Two patients had fair results; the transplant functioned, but they had limited voluntary control. Four were failures: two had had paralysis of other shoulder girdle muscles in addition to the serratus anterior. The indications for the operation are discussed.

The clinical features of this disorder are reviewed.
