Accuracy of suprascapular notch cross-sectional area by MRI in the diagnosis of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome: a retrospective pilot study [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2022 Background Previous studies have demonstrated that morphological changes in the suprascapular notch are closely associated with suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome (SNES).

Arm Function After Arthroscopic Decompression of the Suprascapular Nerve at the Spinoglenoid Notch and Suprascapular Notch in Volleyball Players. [PDF]
Orthop J Sports Med, 2023 Background: Suprascapular nerve (SSN) entrapment in volleyball players leads to infraspinatus (ISP) muscle atrophy and weakness of abduction and external rotation (ER) of the shoulder. Purpose: To assess functional outcome after ...

Suprascapular notch morphometric study
RUDN Journal of Medicine, 2022 Relevance. The suprascapular notch is one of the most crucial areas of the scapula from a clinical standpoint. Aside from its anatomical relevance, the suprascapular notch type may also have some clinical implications for suprascapular nerve entrapment ...

Morphometry and Contents of the Suprascapular Notch with Potential Clinical Implications: Α Cadaveric Study [PDF]
Journal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury, 2021 Background The suprascapular notch (SN) represents the point along the route of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) with the greatest potential risk for injury and compression. Thus, factors reducing the area of the notch have been postulated for suprascapular

Complete Absence of Suprascapular Notch: A Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University, 2015 Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment (SSNE) is an acquired neuropathy secondary to compression of suprascapular nerve in the Suprascapular Notch (SSN). Complete ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament may be a cause for suprascapular nerve ...

The Coexistence of the Suprascapular Notch and Suprascapular Foramen: A Case Report [PDF]
CureusCommonly, the suprascapular notch (SN), which is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL), carries the suprascapular nerve (SSN). Variations in the form of that notch, as well as partial or complete ossification of the STSL or other proper ligaments in the SN area, could potentially lead to SSN entrapment syndrome.

Variation in morphology of suprascapular notch as a factor of suprascapular nerve entrapment [PDF]
International Orthopaedics, 2013 The shape and size of the suprascapular notch (SSN) is one of the most important risk factors in suprascapular nerve entrapment. The aim of the study was to perform a morphological study of SSN variations.A total of 616 computer tomography scans of scapulae were retrospectively analysed in 308 patients.

Decompression of the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch under combined arthroscopic and ultrasound guidance. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 AbstractDecompression of the suprascapular nerve (SSNe) at the suprascapular notch (SSNo) is usually performed with an arthroscopic procedure. This technique is well described but locating the nerve is complex because it is deeply buried and surrounded by soft tissue. We propose to combine ultrasound and arthroscopy (US-arthroscopy) to facilitate nerve
