Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment: Technique for Arthroscopic Release
نویسنده
چکیده
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 that may be contributing to the neuropathy.

Arthroscopic decompression of the suprascapular nerve at the spinoglenoid notch and suprascapular notch through the subacromial space.
Suprascapular nerve entrapment can cause disabling shoulder pain. Suprascapular nerve release is often performed for compression neuropathy and to release pressure on the nerve associated with arthroscopic labral repair. This report describes a novel all-arthroscopic technique for decompression of the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch or spinoglenoid notch through a subacromial app...
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 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)...
متن کاملRecovery of sensory disturbance after arthroscopic decompression of the suprascapular nerve.
BACKGROUND The existence of sensory branches of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) has recently been reported, and sensory disturbance at the lateral and posterior aspect of the shoulder has been focused on as a symptom of SSN palsy. We have performed arthroscopic release of SSN at the suprascapular notch in patients with sensory disturbance since 2006. The purposes of this study were to introduce t...
متن کاملProtective and Predisposing Morphological Factors in Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment Syndrome: A Fundamental Review Based on Recent Observations
Suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome (SNES) is a neuropathy caused by compression of the nerve along its course. The most common compression sites include the suprascapular notch and the spinoglenoid notch. The aim of this article was to review the anatomical factors influencing the occurrence of SNES in the light of the newest reports. Potential predisposing morphological factors include a ...
