Abstract

Postoperative function and muscular strength of the shoulder joint were studied in five patients who had undergone extirpation of the deltoid muscle because of a soft tissue tumor. No patient had significant functional impairment but all had a slightly limited range of active abduction and flexion. The strength reduction did not exceed 40 per cent in any position.
