Abstract

The suprascapular notch is a semicircular notch at the superior
border of scapula, just medial to the base of the Coracoid process, is bridged by
the superior transverse scapular ligament, which is sometimes ossified and the
foramen which is thus completed, transmits the suprascapular nerve to the
supraspinatus fossa. Variations in the morphology of suprascapular notch have
been identified as one of the causes of suprascapular nerve entrapment.
