Augmentation of shoulder contour using a calf implant

Sprengel deformity is a rare orthopedic condition that is associated with f unctional and cosmetic impairment. Results of orthopedic procedures are usu ally inconsistent and cosmetic results are far from satisfactory in these p atients. A silicone-gel-filled calf prosthesis was used to correct the shou lder contour in a patient with Sprengel deformity. Cosmetically the deformi ty can be restored by using a calf implant for patients in whom orthopedic procedures are not likely to yield a satisfactory outcome.
