Anatomy of Suprascapular Notch and its Association with Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment Syndrome
Journal Title: Scholars International Journal of Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract:This study deals with the morphological variations of suprascapular notch of dry scapula. A total of 200 human dry scapulae which were obtained from the Department of Anatomy of various medical colleges were analyzed. The variation of suprascapular notch was recorded and classified into different types. The most common type of suprascapular notch in the study was U shaped. The other shaped were V and J shaped. We also encountered ossified suprascapular ligament and complete absence of suprascapular notch. Such conditions can cause suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. Keywords: Scapula, Suprascapular notch, Suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome.
