Latissimus Dorsi Atrophy
by hazardousfx, Jul 28, 2009 06:27PM
I have severe atrophy/deformity to the Latissimus Dorsi due to surgeries I underwent at birth. This had led to some minor deformities to the upper right rib cage and my right shoulder and clavical are slightly higher and rotate forward compared to the other side of chest. My questions is are there any surgeries that I can receive to reconstruct this muscle or repair the damage at all?
