Neuromodulation 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 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...
متن کاملArthroscopic Treatment of Suprascapular Nerve Neuropathy
Compression of SupraScapular Nerve (SSN) was first described by Thomas in 1936 (Thomas 1936). However, Thompson and Kopell described SupraScapular Nerve (SSN) entrapment occurring at the transverse scapular notch (Thompson and Kopell 1959). Aiello et al differentiated between entrapment of this nerve at the Suprascapular notch and entrapment at the Spinoglenoid notch (Aiello, Serra et al. 1982)...
