A morphometric study on distance between spine, suprascapular notch and spinoglenoid notch of scapula
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
In several patients suffering from shoulder pain, where conservative management responds poorly, it is important to consider interventional options. So, this study is done to evaluate the area where the suprascapular nerve is present in contact with scapula, for surgery to relieve nerve entrapment, to give nerve block or to give regional anaesthesia in suprascapular fossa. The measurements are taken on the spine of the scapula as it is papable landmark in shoulder region. Perpendicular distance between middle of spine of scapula to superior border of scapula, from here to suprascapular notch, and to supraglenoid tubercle is taken on dry scapulae. In present study Perpendicular distance between middle of spine of scapula to superior border of scapula 22.45-34.71mm on right side, 22.31-32.75mm left side; from here to suprascapular notch 5.32-15.06mm right scapulae, 10.09-14.01left scapulae; From parameter no.1 to supraglenoid tubercle 19.07-32.07mm on right scapulae, 38.58-45.41on left scapulae are obtained. The obtained result may act as a guide as landmark for anatomy, comparative anatomy, enthropoloical study, surgical view, anaesthetical and analgesia purpose for suprascapular nerve as an alternate to Electromyography, ultrasound, CT guided and nerve stimulator guided approaches.
