What is it about?
it's a morphometric study of suprascapular notch along with incidence of ossification of superior transeverse scapular ligament

Why is it important?
The present study showed various types of suprascapular notches. Out of these Iqbal type ‘U’ and Natsis type II were most predominant. In both the cases chance of suprascapular nerve compression is less as more space is available to the nerve. The present study also showed five cases of completely ossified STSL where chances of impingement are higher. Since, these anatomical variations are not uncommon in population so there is a need for clinicians to have precise anatomical knowledge of SSN before making proper diagnosis and planning for surgical interventions of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. We hope our study will be helpful in providing anatomical knowledge to the clinicians.
Perspectives
this study definately be proven helpful for the clinicians treating shoulder pain syndrome as this study discuss the detail anatomy of suprascapular notch which is a common site for nerve compression
