[Treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome following fracture of the clavicle with resection of the 1st rib (author's transl)].
The resection of the first rib with a transaxillary approach has been used in the operative treatment of this condition. This approach is though to have more advantages over the anterior (supraclavicular) or posterior (parascapular) ones. The segment resection of the middle third of clavicle would not seem to be justified in these cases. A case is reported in details, where the results support their concept.
