Question
How should congenital muscular torticollis be treated?
Answer
Congenital muscular torticollis is caused by a fibroma within the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which can be palpated at birth or within two weeks after birth. The surgical procedure involves an incision of about 4 centimeters long parallel to the clavicle above the clavicle, exposing the clavicular head and the sternocleidomastoid muscle, passing through the muscle from behind and cutting 2 centimeters of muscle to prevent adhesion after surgery. Carefully check the contracted muscles and fascias with fingers, and carefully release any remaining scar tissue.
