OSSIFICATION OF TRANSVERSE SCAPULAR LIGAMENT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
The scapula is a triangular, flattened bone. It extends from the second to the seventh rib in the posterolateral aspect of thorax. Its superior border extends between superior and lateral angles. The suprascapular notch is located in this border near the root of coracoid process. This notch is converted into a foramen called suprascapular foramen by transverse scapular ligament (suprascapular ligament). This ligament is a flat fasciculus which narrows its attachments to the base of the coracoid process and medial side of the suprascapular( scapular) notch . This ligament is sometimes ossified1. The suprascapular nerve passes through the foramen and the suprascapular vessels cross above the ligament. The anatomical knowledge of this foramen is of extreme importance for clinicians as it can be a risk factor during surgical explorations involving a suprascapular nerve decompression.2
