The Coexistence of the Suprascapular Notch and Suprascapular Foramen: A Case Report. [PDF]
Commonly, 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.

Arm Function After Arthroscopic Decompression of the Suprascapular Nerve at the Spinoglenoid Notch and Suprascapular Notch in Volleyball Players. [PDF]
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 and Suprascapular Foramen: When Neurology Meets Anatomy
Ossification of ligamentous structures during lifetime is a relatively frequent phenomenon in the human body. One of the most common causes of suprascapular nerve entrapment is complete ossification of the superior transverse ligament or ossification of ...

The Influence of Suprascapular Notch Shape on the Visualization of Structures in the Suprascapular Notch Region: Studies Based on a New Four-Stage Ultrasonographic Protocol. [PDF]
Evaluation of the morphology of the suprascapular notch region is important from a clinical point of view because it is the most common site of suprascapular nerve compression and injury.

Morphological and Morphometric study of suprascapular notch [PDF]
Variation in the morphology of suprascapular notch is associated with suprascapular nerve entrapment neuropathy. So, the knowledge about different shapes of suprascapular notch is important for clinicians in understanding the source of the entrapment ...

Decompression of the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch under combined arthroscopic and ultrasound guidance. [PDF]
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

Diameter of suprascapular nerve in the suprascapular notch.
The ultrasound examination of a suprascapular nerve in the suprascapular notch of a 30-year-old male volunteer revealed an approximate diameter of the nerve to be from 2.1 to 2.9 mm. Anatomic dissection confirmed the ultrasound findings.

Systematic review on morphometric study of suprascapular notch
Suprascapular notch roofed by STSL is located in the lateral part of the superior border of scapula and medial to the base of the coracoids process. The suprascapular nerve (SN) is entrapped due to anatomical variation of the notch.
