چکیده

It is important to be aware of neuropathy involving the suprascapular nerve. While direct trauma to the suprascapular nerve is the usual cause (direct blow to the base of the neck or posterior shoulder, shoulder dislocation or fracture), the problem may result from overuse injuries (such as repetitive tennis serving or spiking of a volley ball), excessive horizontal adduction, weight lifting, backpacking or no apparent reason. These last three years we have operated 8 cases of suprascapular nerve neurolysis at the level of suprascapular incision, and section of the transverse scapular ligament through the back supraspinal approach.

Complete Absence of Suprascapular Notch: A Case Report

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 entrapment. The absence of suprascapular notch is not very common condition, though its prevalence was quoted by Indian authors to be varying from 1....

Experience with surgery for entrapment syndrome of the suprascapular nerve.

BACKGROUND The suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome accounts for about 1-2% of all causes of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Entrapment may occur at different levels and a frequent site of compression is the suprascapular notch, the upper border of which is the superior transverse scapular ligament. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 5 patients with entrapment of the suprascapular nerve at the...

Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment: Technique for Arthroscopic Release

Suprascapular neuropathy can be caused by a variety of anatomic and pathologic entities as the nerve courses from the brachial plexus through the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches to innervate the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles. We describe techniques for arthroscopically accessing the nerve at both the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches and decompressing structural lesions th...
