“…18,110 The spinoglenoid ligament has been reported to be present in 3% to 100% of cadavers. 32,[36][37][38]60,82 However, a 2005 study by Plancher et al 82 demonstrated the ligament's presence in all 58 study cadavers. This study proposed that the differences in the presence of the spinoglenoid ligament between studies were due to specimen preparation.…”

“…More important, it also showed that the spinoglenoid ligament lies an average of 4.6 mm above the suprascapular nerve and becomes taut in positions of adduction and internal rotation (the follow-through phase in throwing) because of its ligamentous insertion into the posterior capsule. 81,82 This variation can be significant in causing pathology of the nerve.…”

“…The first type, labelled as a thin band, was previously observed by Cummins et al [77] and Demaio et al [78]. Accordingly, Plancher et al [79] described irregular and quadrangular types of ligament. The triangular ITSL was originally proposed by Won et al [76].…”

Suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome (SNES) is a neuropathy caused by compression of the nerve along its course. The most common compression sites include the suprascapular notch and the spinoglenoid notch. The aim of this article was to review the anatomical factors influencing the occurrence of SNES in the light of the newest reports. Potential predisposing morphological factors include a V-shaped, narrow, or “deep” suprascapular notch; a band-shaped, bifurcated, or completely ossified superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL); particular arrangements of the suprascapular nerve and vessels at the suprascapular notch. A very recent report indicates structures at the suprascapular notch region that may protect from SNES, such as the suprascapular notch veins (SNV). The role of the anterior coracoscapular ligament (ACSL) is still not clear. While some studies indicate that it may predispose for SNES, the newest study proposes a protective function. Knowledge of these variations is essential for arthroscopic and other surgical procedures of this area in order to avoid iatrogenic injury of the suprascapular nerve or unexpected bleeding from the suprascapular vessels running alongside the STSL.

“…According to a cadaveric study by Plancher et al [21] the spinoglenoid ligament was present in all 58 specimens lying 4.8mm over the suprascapular nerve. Another study by the same author proposed that the nerve is being taught in positions of adduction and internal rotation [22].…”

Background:Suprascapular nerve pathology is a rare diagnosis that is increasingly gaining popularity among the conditions that cause shoulder pain and dysfunction. The suprascapular nerve passes through several osseoligamentous structures and can be compressed in several locations.Methods:A thorough literature search was performed using online available databases in order to carefully define the pathophysiology and to guide diagnosis and treatment.Results:Suprascapular neuropathy diagnosis is based on a careful history and a thorough clinical and radiological examination. Although the incidence and prevalence of the condition remain unknown, it is highly diagnosed in specific groups (overhead athletes, patients with a massive rotator cuff tear) probably due to higher interest. The location and the etiology of the compression are those that define the treatment modality.Conclusion:Suprascapular neuropathy diagnosis is based on a careful history and a thorough clinical and radiological examination. The purpose of this article is to describe the anatomy of the suprascapular nerve, to define the pathophysiology of suprascapular neuropathy and to present methodically the current diagnostic and treatment strategies.

The Spinoglenoid Ligament

Abstract: This study revealed the presence of the spinoglenoid ligament in all of the shoulders that were examined, with some variation in the size of the ligament.
