Despite the expansion of arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder,
the open deltopectoral approach is increasingly used for the fixation
of fractures and arthroplasty of the shoulder. The anatomy of the
terminal branches of the posterior circumflex humeral artery (PCHA)
has not been described before. We undertook an investigation to
correct this omission. The vascular anatomy encountered during 100 consecutive elective
deltopectoral approaches was recorded, and the common variants of
the terminal branches of the PCHA are described.Aims
