[Delayed repair of traumatic shoulder girdle muscle tears].
Muscle ruptures effecting the shoulder girdle represent a comparatively rare event. Especially after delayed diagnostics, the operative result is only heavily predictable. Due to few case reports, there are no experiences to guide us. This case report describes the delayed surgical treatment of two cases of traumatic shoulder girdle muscle tears. These results encourage, that also after a long time period operative treatment can lead to a good result.
