Suprascapular foramen: a rare variation caused by ossified suprascapular ligaments.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of the suprascapular foramen in West Anatolian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one dried human scapulae of West Anatolian people of unknown ages and gender belonging to the Anatomy Department Laboratory of Dokuz Eylul University Medical School were examined macroscopically. The vertical and transverse diameters of the ...
متن کاملArthroscopic decompression of a bony suprascapular foramen.
Arthroscopic decompression of the suprascapular nerve by transection of the transverse scapular ligament has only recently been described. Arthroscopic decompression of a bony suprascapular notch foramen has not been previously reported. This article presents a case report and outlines an arthroscopic technique to safely decompress a bony suprascapular notch. In the subacromial space, a lateral...
متن کاملCoexistence of the suprascapular notch and the suprascapular foramen—a rare anatomical variation and a new hypothesis on its formation based on anatomical and radiological studies
The suprascapular notch is the most common site of suprascapular nerve entrapment, which can manifest in disability and pain of the upper limb. Here, we present three cases of a very rare anatomical variation in the suprascapular region: the coexistence of the suprascapular notch and the suprascapular foramen. The variation was found during radiological and anatomical investigations. The supras...
متن کاملSuprascapular Nerve Entrapment Due to a Stenotic Foramen
Suprascapular nerve (SSN) entrapment is an uncommon cause of posterior shoulder pain. Entrapment can be relieved arthroscopically in some cases.
متن کاملSuprascapular 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...
