Abstract
We believe that this technique has several advantages. After poliomyelitis recovery in the clavicular head of pectoralis major may exceed that in the sternal head; there may be considerable but incomplete recovery in both heads and it is then desirable to use all the active muscle available. Girls and women dislike conspicuous scars; the incisions used in this technique are unobtrusive when the arm is by the side.Keywords
