Suprascapular Notch asymmetry: a study on 311 patients. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2014
The most important risk factor of suprascapular nerve entrapment is probably the shape of the suprascapular notch (SSN). The aim of the study was to perform a radiological study of the symmetry of SSN. Included in the study were 311 patients (137 women and 174 men) who underwent standard computed tomography investigation of the chest.

Scapular morphometrics inform anatomic landmark distances for arthroscopic suprascapular nerve decompression: a cadaveric study [PDF]

JSES International
Background: Arthroscopic suprascapular nerve (SSN) decompression is an increasingly adopted treatment for SSN entrapment. It involves lateral-to-medial dissection to reach the suprascapular notch, placing adjacent neurovasculature at risk.

Variation in Morphology of the Suprascapular Nerve and Vessels at the Suprascapular Notch: Clinical Implications for Suprascapular Nerve Release

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to classify variation in morphology of the suprascapular nerve (SSN), suprascapular artery (SSA), and suprascapular vein (SSV) in relation to the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) at the suprascapular notch (SN) to evaluate the risk of vascular injury during SSN release.

Arthroscopic Suprascapular Nerve Decompression: A Technique Video

Video Journal of Sports Medicine
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.

Suprascapular Nerve Injury at the Spinoglenoid Notch in a Washer Man: A Case Report

Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2014
Suprascapular Nerve injury is an uncommon cause of shoulder pain and weakness. Lesions of the Suprascapular Nerve can occur at the Supraspinatus or the Spinoglenoid Notch.

Open Suprascapular Nerve Decompression at the Spinoglenoid Notch

Arthroscopy Techniques
Abstract Suprascapular nerve (SSN) entrapment is a rare but significant cause of posterior shoulder pain and weakness. Compression of the nerve at the level of the spinoglenoid notch leads to weakness and atrophy of the infraspinatus.

Morphological Variation of Suprascapular Notch in Population of Eastern India and its Clinical Significance [PDF]

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2021
Introduction: Suprascapular notch is present at the lateral part of the superior border of scapula which is bridged by superior transverse scapular ligament. The suprascapular nerve runs below the ligament and the transverse scapular vessels over it.

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]

Biomed Res Int, 2017
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.

Suprascapular Notch and Suprascapular Foramen: When Neurology Meets Anatomy

Online Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2020
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 ...
