    Deltoid muscle removal for soft tissue tumors resulted in minimal shoulder impairment. Patients experienced slight limitations in active abduction and flexion, with strength reduction not exceeding 40%.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal Oncology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Soft tissue tumors can necessitate surgical intervention, including muscle removal.
    • The deltoid muscle is crucial for shoulder joint mobility and strength.
    • Understanding the functional impact of deltoid muscle extirpation is vital for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the postoperative functional outcomes and muscular strength of the shoulder joint after deltoid muscle extirpation.
    • To assess the range of motion and strength deficits in patients following this specific surgical procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of five patients underwent deltoid muscle extirpation due to soft tissue tumors.
    • Postoperative assessment included evaluation of shoulder joint function, active range of motion (abduction and flexion), and muscular strength.

    Main Results:

    • No patients experienced significant functional impairment following the surgery.
    • A slight limitation in the active range of abduction and flexion was observed in all patients.
    • Muscular strength reduction was consistently below 40% in all measured positions.

    Conclusions:

    • Deltoid muscle extirpation for soft tissue tumors can be performed with acceptable functional and strength preservation.
    • Patients may experience mild, manageable deficits in shoulder range of motion post-surgery.
    • The study suggests that the shoulder joint retains substantial function after partial or complete deltoid muscle removal.
