Suprascapular vascular anomalies as a cause of suprascapular nerve compression.
The vascular anatomy at the spinoglenoid and suprascapular notches appears to be more variable than previously thought. In patients presenting with signs of suprascapular nerve compression, vascular causes must be considered. Especially when considering percutaneous or arthroscopic treatment, awareness of these entities may help to guide treatment decisions, aid in identification of the anatomy...
متن کاملNeuromodulation of the Suprascapular Nerve.
Chronic intractable shoulder pain (CISP) is defined as shoulder pain which is present for longer than 6 months and does not respond to standard treatments like medication, physical therapy, rehabilitation, selective nerve blocks and local infiltrations, or orthopedic procedures. The etiology of CISP may be very diverse, varying from many orthopedic conditions to non-orthopedic conditions. The f...
متن کاملEntrapment of the suprascapular nerve.
Operative release for entrapment of the suprascapular nerve was carried out in 35 patients. They were assessed at an average of 30 months (12 to 98) after operation using the functional shoulder score devised by Constant and Murley. 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.
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, b...
متن کاملHypertrophy of the subscapularis muscle might be an etiologic factor for suprascapular nerve entrapment at the suprascapular notch
During the routine dissection of a 57 year old male cadaver, a hypertrophied subscapularis muscle was detected on the right side. Hypertrophied subscapularis muscle originated from the anterior surface of the scapula and inserted to the lesser tubercle of the humerus. Its superior part covered the entire anterior surface of the suprascapular notch and lay on the suprascapular nerve while it tra...
