Fig. 1 This patient was submitted to anterior transclavicular approach. The median half of the clavicle was removed and the sternomastoid muscle divided, as was the clavicular part of the major pectoralis muscle. The shoulder deformity is evident, and this caused an important deficit and patient discomfort.
