  ABSTRACT: Purpose: The approach to resect subscapular and subrhomboid tumors needs elevation of the scapula. This is usually performed by detaching the muscles from the margo medialis of the scapula. We wish to communicate our technique of a longitudinal osteotomy of the margo medialis for improved refixation of the muscles. Patients and Methods: 5 patients with subscapular and one patient with a subrhomboid benign tumor were operated on using this technique. Results: All patients achieved stable healing and full functional recovery; only in one patient there was slightly reduced elevation of the arm. Conclusion: Elevation of the muscles inserting into the medial scapular margo with a small rim of bone facilitates refixation and allows for excellent restitution of function.
