Disinsertion of the LD, not the disinsertion of the PM or radiotherapy, contributes to strength deficits following LD flap breast reconstructions. The combined disinsertion of the PM and LD compromises shoulder stability in the vertical plane. Shoulder function should be a focal point of the surgical decision-making process and postsurgical care.
