Abstract
The superior transverse scapular ligament bridges across suprascapular notch to form a suprascapular foramen which transmits the suprascapular nerve. This ligament is sometimes ossified which may lead to suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. In the diagnosis of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome, variations in the anatomy of the transverse scapular ligament must be considered as possible etiologic factor.
The aim of this study was to see the incidence of the ossified superior transverse scapular ligament on dried human adult scapulae. 90 dried scapulae from the Anatomy Department of Dr. VMGMC, Solapur were examined. Scapulae with damaged superior border were not considered for the study. Scapulae with ossified superior transverse scapular ligament were recorded.
The anatomical knowledge of ossified superior transverse scapular ligament may be helpful for neurosurgeons and clinicians dealing with suprascapular nerve entrapment neuropathy.
