 The transferred muscles hold the scapula in a more medial and upwardly rotated position, without winging.The original technique was first described by Eden in 1924 and verified by Lange in the 1950s.The rhomboid major and rhomboid minor were transferred laterally from the medial border of the scapula to the infraspinatous fossa, and the levator scapulae was transferred laterally to the spine of the scapula, near the acromion.
