Anatomical Variations of the Suprascapular Notch and its Importance in Suprascapular Entrapment Neuropathy

摘要

Background: Anatomical knowledge about the suprascapular notch is very important in understanding the risk of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. Suprascapular nerve injuries have become commonly recognized as a cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. This study aimed to describe the morphometrical influence of the suprascapular notch on the course of the suprascapular nerve.
