Summary
Sprengel deformity with spondylocostal dysostosis (SCDO) is rare. A modified surgical technique improved shoulder function by correcting scapular elevation and rotation, offering a new management approach.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Congenital Anomalies
- Skeletal Dysplasias
Background:
- Sprengel deformity involves abnormal scapular descent during embryogenesis.
- Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCDO) is a genetic disorder causing vertebral and rib malformations.
- Coexistence of Sprengel deformity and SCDO is rare, with unclear optimal surgical management.
