Abstract
Dewar-Harris's procedure is often performed for paralysis of the trapezius caused by accessory nerve injury in order to restore shoulder function. This is a method in which the scapula is fixed on the second and third thoracic vertebrae using the fascia lata to obtain stability of the scapula and forces necessary to rotate it. We used the Leeds-keio artificial ligament instead of the fascia lata in three patients with trapezius paralysis. Abduction functional brace was used for four weeks postoperatively. All patients achieved good functional recovery of the shoulder.
