Inclusion criteria were: age\u2009&gt;\u200918\u2009months, full passive glenohumeral external rotation in abduction, and absence of severe joint deformity on MRI. The spinal accessory nerve was transferred to the infraspinatus motor branch and the long head of the triceps motor branch to the teres minor motor branch. Anterior shoulder release was associated when passive shoulder external rotation in adduction (pERADD) was &lt;30\u00b0 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> =\u200913, Group R vs. Group N\u2010no release <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> =\u20097).
