title: [Axillary approach in surgery of the shoulder and proximal extremity of the humerus in children].
abstract: On the basis of 12 cases, the authors suggest use of the axillary approach in everyday surgery on the shoulder and the upper end of the humerus, because of the quality of healing it offers. They describe its safety and limitations. Problems are restricted to slight transverse adhesions across the axilla which are easily cured and even more easily avoidable.
