    In Farsetti's series of 14 untreated patients followed over 26 years, 7 (50%) developed pain at the latest follow-up. A handful of case reports in adult shoulder literature also suggest that at least a proportion of untreated patients present later in life with pain and neurologic symptoms seeking intervention.9,12,18 The presentation of Sprengel's deformity can be complex, with many children having associated pathologies including spinal deformities and had undergone spine surgery, which can also be sources of pain.

  • Results of surgical treatment for Sprengle's deformity with vertical corrective scapular osteotomy

    2020, Annals of Medicine and Surgery
    Citation Excerpt :

    In our study, 23% of the patients had omovertebral bone, which has been reported between 18% and 60% in the other studies [11,14]. It is recommended to remove it completely if it is not part of the vertebral column [3,27]. After osteotomy, release of the soft tissue around the scapula, and removing a wedge-shaped bone, we were able to bring the scapula down and to correct the rotation.
