[Anterior approach to the high thoracic spine by the subscapular route].

Philippe Hernigou, Mondher Kooli, Michelle Février, DANIEL GOUTALLIER

Abstract

The authors report their experience of the approach of the high thoracic spine (from T1 to T3), with the help of a thoracic flap resected under the location of the scapula. This approach has only given few functional disorders after the operation: besides, it offers the possibility to widen towards the low thoracic spine or the cervical spine.
