The Suprascapular notch is situated in the lateral part of the superior border of the scapula, just adjacent to the base of Coracoid process. The notch is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) which some time ossifies and is attached laterally to the root of the coracoid process and medially to the limit of the notch. A number of variations occur in the shape of suprascapular notch, from a discrete notch to "J" shaped, "V" shaped, "U" shaped or "O" shaped (i.e. as a complete foramen). To study morphological and morphometric variations of suprascapular notch of Indian population. We studied 140 dried scapula bone and measurements of SSN were done using digital vernier calipers. We used the Rengachary classification for this study. The following measurements were The superior transverse diameter-maximum distance between superior most edges of suprascapular notch (SSN). The inferior transverse diameter-maximum distance between the edges of the curved arch at the base of the SSN. The results of our study were: J-shaped-28%, U-shaped-26%, V-shaped-15%, Partial-ossification-7%, Indentation-10%, Absent-9%, Complete ossification-2%. Type IV supra scapular notch was found to be the most prevalent type amongst all shapes. We also found that the characteristics of the scapula (dimensions) are related to the characteristics of the supra scapular notch (type and dimensions) and there is a distinct difference between right and left side scapula.

“…It is the main site of both injury and compression of the suprascapular nerve (SN) [16,20]. The anatomy of the structures surrounding the SSN is complex and of great significance because morphological variations may predispose the patient to compression of the SN [5,13,18,20].…”

“…The correlation of the incidence rate of the ossified STSL with sex and side of the scapulae is a controversy, where Polguj et al [ 7 ] and Tubbs et al [ 16 ] reported that the ossified STSL showed higher incidence rate in males and in right scapulae. Conversely, a higher frequency of ossified STSL was reported in female cadavers [ 3 , 36 ]. Meanwhile, Albino et al [ 2 ] did not found any relation between SSN type and sex of the individuals.…”

Understanding the anatomy of suprascapular area helps the clinicians and surgeons in management of any disability at the shoulder region. This work aimed to clear the different morphological and morphometrical types of suprascapular notch (SSN). Unknown 120 dry human scapulae of both sides and 60 formalin-embalmed cadaveric upper limbs (40 males and 20 females) were used in the present study. Three main morphological forms of SSN were reported: J, U, and V-shaped. J-shaped notch showed the highest incidence followed by U-shaped then V-shaped one. Morphometrically, type (III) notch was the most prevalent in both dry bones and cadavers, while the incidence of type (II) was the lowest form. Also, the measurements of superior transverse diameter, middle transverse diameter and vertical dimension of the different types of the notch showed no side or sex significant difference. The suprascapular foramen with ossified superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) was seen in 5.8% of dry bones and 10% of cadaveric specimens. Fan and band-shaped ossified transverse scapular ligaments were reported. Absence of SSN was seen in 10.8% of dry bones, 7.5% of male and 10% of female specimens with left side predominance. V-shaped, absence, and ossified STSL were considered as predisposing factors of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. Knowledge of the morphology and morphometric parameters of SSN is of great clinical significance for anatomists, radiologists, physiotherapists, orthopedics and neurosurgeons to perform good diagnosis and best planning for surgical or arthroscopic interventions within the shoulder region.
