Morphometric study of suprascapular notch in Indian dry scapulae with specific reference to the incidence of completely ossified superior transverse scapular ligament.
BACKGROUND The suprascapular notch, a depression on the lateral part of the superior border of the scapula, medial to the coracoid process, is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament, which is sometimes ossified and the foramen which is thus completed, transmits the suprascapular nerve to the supraspinatus fossa. Variations in the morphology of suprascapular notch have been identif...
متن کاملThe Incidence of Ossified Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament during Nerve Transfer through Posterior Shoulder Approach
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and importance of bony bridge that covers thesupra scapular notch during posterior approach to transfer accessory nerve to suprascapular nerve.Methods: Between 2010 and 2015, the frequency and importance of suprascapular bony bridge instead of transverseligament was assessed among patients with brachial plexus i...
متن کاملMorphological and Radiological Study of Ossified Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament as Potential Risk Factor of Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment
The suprascapular notch is covered superiorly by the superior transverse scapular ligament. This region is the most common place of suprascapular nerve entrapment formation. The study was performed on 812 specimens: 86 dry scapulae, 104 formalin-fixed cadaveric shoulders, and 622 computer topography scans of scapulae. In the cases with completely ossified superior transverse scapular ligament, ...
متن کاملArthroscopic decompression of an entrapped suprascapular nerve due to an ossified superior transverse scapular ligament: a case report
INTRODUCTION Suprascapular neuropathy is an uncommon cause of shoulder pain and weakness and therefore is frequently misdiagnosed. As a consequence, misdiagnosis can include inappropriate conservative treatment or unsuccessful surgical procedure. CASE PRESENTATION A rare case is reported of a 54-year-old woman who suffered from suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. The patient was subjecte...
متن کاملThe Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament in Fetuses
Introduction. The superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) links the margins of the suprascapular notch and converts it into a foramen, through which, the suprascapular nerve and, on some rare occasions, the suprascapular vessels pass. This conversion often results from partial or complete ossification of the STSL and may produce compressive symptoms in the suprascapular nerve. Material and...
