181 patients treated for thoracic outlet syndrome by first rib resection were reviewed. 88 (49%) indicated a single traumatic event which precipitated the thoracic outlet syndrome. 79% of patients with a history of a single traumatic episode had good to excellent results after first rib resection. A separate group of 18 patients developed work-related thoracic outlet syndrome due to repetitive activities. Ratings of good to excellent results were lower (66%) among workmen’s compensation cases.
