- Abstract
Objective: The scapula (shoulder blade) is a triangular flat bone that lies on the posterolateral aspect of the thorax, overlying the 2nd to 7th ribs. The thinnest and shortest edge of the margo superior. Suprascapular notch located on the superior border of the scapula and just medial to the base of the coracoid process. This notch is covered by superior transverse scapular ligament and is turned into a foramen. About of suprascapular notch is bands, calcification, and partial or complete ossification include variations. Methods: Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty Department of Radiology Archives of the file scanning suprascapular notch absence was founda patient whos is 71 year old. Results: In the literature, suprascapular notch is generally defined as divided into 6 types. These types are type 1: absence of incisura scapula, type 2: wide V type, type 3: symmetrical U type, type 4: narrow V type, type 5: partial ossification, type 6: complete ossification. Our case conforms to type 1 of these typologies. The incidence of incisura scapula absence in the literature is between 8% and 22%. Conclusion: In this study, it was reported that suprascapular notch absence is one of the risk factors to nerve compression of nervus suprascapularis. This anatomical information can be very useful for better understanding of clinical and surgical applications. It may help to prevent iatrogenic suprascapular nerve injury in arthroscopic procedures.
