“…Although normally painless, this injury has been reported in volleyball athletes. 48 However, this condition has generally not been reported in adolescent athletes [48][49][50][51] and, therefore, was not assessed in our participants. It is possible that a deficiency, due to congenital anatomic differences or early sport participation, may lead to increased occurrence of this condition for volleyball athletes with a high training volume, resulting in decreased ability of the infraspinatus to provide eccentric dynamic stabilization during the acceleration phase of the spiking motion.…”

Context: Few researchers have examined shoulder strength in adolescent volleyball athletes despite increasing levels of participation in this age group. Objective: To compare medial and lateral isokinetic peak torque of the rotator cuff among skill levels and between athletes with and without a history of shoulder injury. Design: Cross-sectional design. Setting: The Human Performance Lab and Athletic Training Lab. Patients or Other Participants: Thirty-eight female adolescent club volleyball athletes from 10 to 15 years of age (mean = 13.02 ± 1.60 years). Main Outcome Measure(s): We measured concentric and eccentric peak torque of the medial and lateral rotators of the shoulder and calculated resultant cocking and spiking ratios based on peak torque values. Results: Athletes at higher skill levels had higher peak torque measurements in concentric and eccentric medial and lateral rotation compared with the athletes at lower skill levels. No differences in peak torque existed between participants with or without an injury history 6 months before the study. Strength ratios did not differ across skill levels, but previously injured participants produced lower eccentric medial rotation to concentric lateral rotation ratios compared with participants without a history of injury (P = .02). At the highest skill level, previously injured participants produced lower eccentric lateral rotation to concentric medial rotation ratios compared with participants without an injury history (P = .04). Conclusions: Differences in medial and lateral shoulder rotator strength ratios appear to be related more to injury prevalence than to absolute strength. Shoulder dysfunction related to strength ratio deficits also may exist in adolescent female volleyball athletes. Preventive shoulder strengthening programs focused on improving eccentric strength and correcting imbalances between medial and lateral rotators may be warranted for all female adolescent volleyball athletes.

“…The diagnosis and treatment of this specific condition has been well-described and is most prevalent in overhead athletes, most specifically, volleyball players. [33][34][35]39,44,55,70,79,93,100,109,112,113 A dynamic traction neuropathy at the spinoglenoid notch requires a different approach to treatment than a neuropathy due to a compressive lesion. The dynamic nature of this neuropathy makes it amenable to a trial of nonoperative treatment, and the results of conservative care have been encouraging.…”

“…[6] A familial case of calcification of STSL in both father and son found during study of Cohen et al, [4] causing entrapment syndrome of suprascapular nerve indicates the genetic basis of ossification. The thickness of ossified STSL in Indian population is 2.8±0.96 mm as found in study of Mistry et al [16] Sandow & Ilic [20] explained that suprascapular nerve compression is more common in volleyball players due to some specific type of movements likes abduction associated with lateral (external) rotation.…”

BACKGROUND: Suprascapular nerve may be compressed anywhere along its course but commonly compressed at the level of suprascapular notch and spinoglenoid notch. Supra-scapular notch is bridged by superior transverse scapular ligament and changes into a foramen which provides passage for suprascapular nerve. When it is completely ossified it becomes suprascapular foramen in dry scapulae. Overhead abduction of shoulder joint exerts traction on the suprascapular nerve, which leads to its compression against superior border of scapula. The risk of suprascapular nerve entrapment increases when the superior transverse scapular ligament gets completely ossified.
