Glenoid Paralabral Cysts Causing Shoulder Pain and Isolated Infraspinatus Weakness: Early Arthroscopic Decompression and Labral Repair Leads to Complete Recovery: A Case Series [PDF]
Introduction: Shoulder pain in young patients can be caused by various conditions such as tendinitis, bursitis, capsulitis, and labral tears. Superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears can sometimes be associated with a paralabral cyst, which can

Intraneural Ganglion of the Suprascapular Nerve with Asymmetric Branch Recovery and Dual-Site Compression: A Case Report [PDF]
Introduction: Intraneural ganglion cysts of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) are rare cystic lesions that can lead to shoulder pain, weakness, and muscle atrophy due to nerve compression. They frequently arise secondary to a capsulolabral tear, which allows

Morphology and Prevalence of the Inferior Transverse Scapular Ligament: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Proposal for Classification [PDF]
Background/Objectives: The suprascapular nerve is most vulnerable to entrapment at the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches, causing neuropathy. Numerous studies have examined the suprascapular notch and ligament and its relationship with suprascapular

A Novel Variant of Suprascapular Neurovascular Morphology: Clinical and Surgical Implications. [PDF]
Introduction: The suprascapular neurovascular structures traverse the suprascapular notch in a variety of morphologies. However, the suprascapular nerve has always been described as coursing under the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) at the ...

Arthroscopic Suprascapular Nerve Decompression: A Technique Video [PDF]
Background: Suprascapular neuropathy is an uncommon but treatable cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. The tortuous course of the suprascapular nerve puts it at risk for entrapment, particularly at the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches.

High rates of return to sport after suprascapular nerve decompression: an updated systematic review [PDF]
Background: Suprascapular nerve decompression (SSND) remains a controversial procedure. In 2018, Momaya et al published the first systematic review of SSND noting satisfactory outcomes with low rates of complications; however, numerous studies published ...
