21 cases of Sprengel deformity in 19 patients were treated in Paediatric orthopaedic unit of Children's hospital of Rabat in 20 years. Only 6 patients (4 girls, 2 boys) were operated on. The ages of the patients at operation ranged from four to fifteen years (mean age: 10 years). The duration of follow-up ranged from 8 months to 10 years (average: 4 years and 2 months) The Woodward procedure was constantly used. Post operatively, the average increase in total abduction was 40 degrees (range 30 to 75 degrees) Functional and cosmetic results were judged good in 3 patients, moderate in 2 and fair in one case. We emphasize that patients who are less than 4 years old are the ideal candidates for scapular displacement procedure.
