Congenital undescended scapula (Sprengel deformity): a case study.

This study describes a congenital deformity of the shoulder joint in a 5-year-old female, associated with an undescended scapula and the presence of an omovertebral bone. Dissections on 16 cadavers were done to identify structures in danger of injure before operating on the patient. Surgeons need to take specific note of the dorsal scapular nerve.
