The average age at the time of surgery was 40 years (17 to 67). Entrapment was due to injury in ten patients and no cause was found in three; 34 had diffuse postero...
متن کاملSuprascapular 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...

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...
