BACKGROUND The suprascapular notch (SSN), bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL), creates a pathway for the suprascapular nerve (SN). Morphological variations in the SSN region are common and can increase the risk of neuropathy by constricting the space for the nerve. The aim of this study was to establish new objective parameters that take this complex morphology into acco...

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...

Aim: The recognition of the scapula anatomy and visible variations is important in surgical treatments arthroscopic procedures case any diseases shoulder. morphological morphometric characteristics scapular notch on superior margin are very important. Because compression suprascapular nerve extending inside causes entrapment neuropathy. Therefore, present study was planned order to contribute u...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of fluoroscopy-guided anterior approach for suprascapular nerve block (SSNB). METHODS Twenty patients with chronic shoulder pain were included in the study. All of the nerve blocks were performed with patients in a supine position. Fluoroscopy was tilted medially to obtain the best view of the scapular notch (medial angle) and...

I have read with interest the paper by Berry and coworkers entitled Isolated Suprascapular Nerve Palsy: A Review of Nine Cases.' I am concerned that they have dismissed too hastily the possibility that neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) referred to in their paper as "brachial plexus neuritis" may be responsible for isolated suprascapular neuropathies (ISNs). The authors report that they had encountered ...
