Unusual ligament of the scapula

Introduction Customary dissection in the Physical Therapy Anatomy Laboratory yielded a unilateral left-sided scapular ligament variation in a single cadaver. The embalmed specimen was a 58-year-old Caucasian male. The primary finding was a variant ligament which spanned across the supraspinous fossa in inferior to superior orientation. The suprascapular nerve and artery were seen passing under the variant ligament. Although variations in the transverse scapular ligament and spinoglenoid ligament have been documented, the author is not aware of any description which matches the variant ligament described in the current case.
