Morphometry of Suprascapular Notch and its Correlation with that of Scapula.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Suprascapular notch is the common site for the entrapment of the suprascapular nerve. Suprascapular nerve compression usually presents with vague pain across the scapula or dull shoulder ache. It is more common in over head athlets like volleyball players. Hence the study of morphology and morphometry of the notch is important clinically.

Correlation between morphometry of the suprascapular notch and anthropometric measurements of the scapula.
The concept of the study was to find the correlation between the morphometry of the suprascapular notch and basic anthropometric measurements of the human scapula. The measurements of the human scapulae included: morphological length and width, maximal width and length projection of scapular spine, length of acromion, and maximal length of the coracoid process. The glenoid cavity was measured i...
متن کاملMorphometry of the suprascapular notch: correlation with scapular dimensions and clinical relevance
BACKGROUND Better knowledge of the suprascapular notch anatomy may help to prevent and to assess more accurately suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. Our purposes were to verify the reliability of the existing data, to assess the differences between the two genders, to verify the correlation between the dimensions of the scapula and the suprascapular notch, and to investigate the relationsh...
متن کاملThe suprascapular notch: its morphology and distance from the glenoid cavity in a Kenyan population.
The morphology of the suprascapular notch has been associated with suprascapular entrapment neuropathy, as well as injury to the suprascapular nerve in arthroscopic shoulder procedures. This study aimed to describe the morphology and morphometry of the suprascapular notch. The suprascapular notch in 138 scapulae was classified into six types based on the description by Rengachary. The suprascap...
متن کاملComplete Absence of Suprascapular Notch: A Case Report
Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment (SSNE) is an acquired neuropathy secondary to compression of suprascapular nerve in the Suprascapular Notch (SSN). Complete ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament may be a cause for suprascapular nerve entrapment. The absence of suprascapular notch is not very common condition, though its prevalence was quoted by Indian authors to be varying from 1....
متن کاملA Study on Morphometry and Morphological Variation of Suprascapular Notch in Dried Human Scapula
Introduction: The Suprascapular Notch (SSN) is located at the superior border of the scapula, just medial to the base of the coracoid process. The knowledge of variations in shapes and dimensions can be helpful to clinicians to correlate the suprascapular nerve entrapment with a specific type of notch. Aim: This study was carried out to observe morphological variation in shapes of SSN and morph...
