Scapular surgery for FSH muscular dystrophy

Video Description

One of the classic symptoms of FSHD is “scapular winging.” The muscles around the shoulder blade (scapula) weaken and allow the bone to jut out like an angel’s wing. This can cause pain and prevent a person from being able to raise the arm. A solution that works for some patients is surgery to attach the scapula to the rib cage. Dr. Anthony Romeo, a leading expert in this procedure, will discuss how it works. He’ll talk about what type of patients are good candidates, and what the recovery entails.
