Modified Eden-Lange procedure for iatrogenic lateral scapular winging

Abstract

Highlights Lateral winging scapula is rare and generated by the trapezius paralysis. It is most likely iatrogenic from procedures involving the posterior cervical triangle. The modified Eden-Lange procedures one of the options by restoring the major actions of a flaccid trapezius. The modified and standard Eden-Lange procedure has been proven to successfully remove the scapular wing by restoring the main action of the trapezius muscle. This procedure allowed patient to achieve excellent results in terms of pain relief, strength, and stability after a routine physical therapy program.
