The suprascapular notch (or scapular notch) is a notch in the superior border of the scapula, just medial to the base of the coracoid process. [1] It is converted into the suprascapular canal by the suprascapular ligament.

2024年6月11日 · Suprascapular neuropathy is compression of the suprascapular nerve that most commonly occurs at the suprascapular notch or spinoglenoid notch by a mass (i.e cyst).

We examined 500 dried scapulae, measuring seven distances related to the scapular body and suprascapular notch; they were also catalogued according to gender, age and side. Suprascapular notch was classified in accordance with Rengachary’s method. For each class, we also took into consideration the width/depth ratio.

Detailed anatomical knowledge of the suprascapular notch (SSN) is important for the management of entrapment neuropathy and interventional procedures. The objective of the present study was to collect data on the morphological features and anatomical variations of the SSN in an Indian population.

2021年9月6日 · The fossa houses the suprascapular canal, connecting the suprascapular notch and the spinoglenoid notch conveying the suprascapular nerve and vessels. Infraspinous fossa: It is the area below the spine of the scapula.

The suprascapular notch (SSN) is a small depression on the superior border of the scapula and it forms a tunnel with the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL).

2014年4月15日 · 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.

2024年11月1日 · This study aims to investigate the morphology of suprascapular notch (SSN) and its variation with age and sexual dimorphism. It also seeks to classify and correlate the superior angle of the scapula with the SSN in the Indian population.

2017年1月14日 · Where is the suprascapular nerve? The suprascapular nerve is formed by nerve fibers from the 5 th and 6 th cervical roots. In order to reach its two muscle targets, this nerve first passes through a small notch on the top of the shoulder blade (suprascapular notch, “supra” = top, “scapula” = shoulder blade).

2013年5月24日 · We examined 500 dried scapulae, measuring seven distances related to the scapular body and suprascapular notch; they were also catalogued according to gender, age and side.
