Clavicular osteotomy approach for difficult shoulder surgery

The deltopectoral surgical approach has long been the workhorse for the anterior approach to the shoulder joint. It was described early in the last century by Thompson (1918) and Henry (1927). Although this approach can be used for many surgical procedures, one of its drawbacks is difficulty in expo...
