Abstract

Long considered as the ultimate surgery for limb salvage in case of brachial plexus palsy, shoulder fusion has seen its indications reduced with the development of more numerous and multiple tendon transfers. This option remains valid and should always be suggested first because of its reliable effects on pain and function. However, it is a demanding surgery, the position of the fusion remains difficult to determine and the complication rate is not negligible.
