Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: The morphology of the suprascapular notch (SSN) has been associated with suprascapular entrapment neuropathy, and injury to the suprascapular nerve in arthroscopic shoulder procedures. Aim and objectives: This study was to describe the morphology and morphometry of the suprascapular notch in dry scapulae. Material and method: The present study was done in 97 dry human scapulae obtained from IIMSR, Warudi, Tq. Badnapur, Dist. Jalna. In the present study the suprascapular notch is classified based on gross appearance as ‘U’ shaped, ‘V’ shaped, ‘J’ shaped, absent notch and indentation instead of a notch. The complete and partial ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) was also noted. Results: The present study classify the suprascapular notch into various shapes like ‘U’ 32.98%, ‘V’ 12.37%, ‘J’ 19.58%, absent notch 4.12%, and indentation instead of a notch 20.16%. The complete ossification was seen in 8.23% and partial ossification of the superior transverse scapular ligament in 2.06% of cases. Conclusion: This anatomic information is important in the management of entrapment neuropathy or interventional procedure of the suprascapular notch.
