%X after severe injures in the brachial plexus causing shoulder paralysis, reconstructive surgery is sometimes required to restore the previous function, so it is necessary to use several muscles to make the transfer. fifteen patients with shoulder injures were treated with mayer¡äs technique to transfer the trapezius to the humerus. the results showed 10 cases with good prognosis, 4 cases with regular prognosis and 1 with bad outcome. stabilized shoulder was possible in 14 patients. the transfer of the trapezius provided a better function than arthrodesis in the shoulder paralysis.
