ABSTRACT
In this case report, a unique instance of delayed isolated anterior branch axillary nerve injury following shoulder dislocation is highlighted. The patient, a 55-year-old manual laborer, presented with severe deltoid wasting and reduced power 18 months postdislocation, necessitating a specialized treatment approach. The use of axillary nerve neurolysis and an innovative upper trapezius to anterior deltoid transfer via a subacromial path posterior to the clavicle, facilitated by an autologous semitendinosus graft, resulted in significant improvement with 160 degrees of abduction and Grade 4+ power Medical Research Council grading (MRC) at the 5-year follow-up.
