Dynamic muscle transfer, Winging Scapular, LTN Damage

I can’t believe I have just found this forum; I’m a long term sufferer of winging scapular.
I have like many been through the mill with this problem and it took many years before I actually was seen by a surgeon whom was familiar with this nerve injury.

I have had the surgery explained by Nath but due to the time that the long thoracic never had been compressed the decompression was unsuccessful, so I’m now on the waiting list for a dynamic muscle transfer using the pec major.

Has anybody gone though this procedure????

Would appreciate some feedback, more information

Thanks
