An aid to axillary dissection.
Abstract
Abduction facilitates axillary dissection. Full abduction with the hand behind the head permits maximal operative exposure. This is due to the posterior axillary wall passing anteriorly and displacing the axillary contents into a superficial position. This movement is demonstrated roentgenographically.
