  • Arthroscopic Decompression of the Suprascapular Nerve at the Spinoglenoid Notch and Suprascapular Notch Through the Subacromial Space
    Technical Note Arthroscopic Decompression of the Suprascapular Nerve at the Spinoglenoid Notch and Suprascapular Notch Through the Subacromial Space Neil Ghodadra, M.D., Shane J. Nho, M.D., M.S., Nikhil N. Verma, M.D., Stefanie Reiff, B.A., Dana P. Piasecki, M.D., Matthew T. Provencher, M.D., and Anthony A. Romeo, M.D. Abstract: Suprascapular nerve entrapment can cause disabling shoulder pain. Suprascapular nerve release is often performed for compression neuropathy and to release pressure on the nerve associated with arthroscopic labral repair. This report describes a novel all-arthroscopic technique for decom- pression of the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch or spinoglenoid notch through a subacromial approach. Through the subacromial space, spinoglenoid notch cysts can be visualized between the supraspinatus and infraspinatus at the base of the scapular spine. While viewing the subacromial space through the lateral portal, the surgeon can use a shaver through the posterior portal to decompress a spinoglenoid notch cyst at the base of the scapular spine. To decompress the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch, a shaver through the posterior portal removes the soft tissue on the acromion and distal clavicle to expose the coracoclavicular ligaments. The medial border of the conoid ligament is identified and followed to its coracoid attachment. The supraspinatus muscle is retracted with a blunt trocar placed through an accessory Neviaser portal. The transverse scapular ligament, which courses inferior to the suprascapular artery, is sectioned with arthroscopic scissors, and the suprascapular nerve is decompressed. Key Words: Arthroscopy—Suprascapular nerve—Transverse scapular ligament—Suprascapular notch—Rotator cuff—Shoulder.

  • The SPA Arrangement of the Branches of the Upper Trunk of the Brachial Plexus: a Correction of a Longstanding Misconception and a New Diagram of the Brachial Plexus
    LABORATORY INVESTIGATION J Neurosurg 125:350–354, 2016 The SPA arrangement of the branches of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus: a correction of a longstanding misconception and a new diagram of the brachial plexus Amgad Hanna, MD Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin OBJECTIVE Brachial plexus (BP) diagrams in most textbooks and papers represent the branches and divisions of the upper trunk (UT) in the following sequence from cranial to caudal: suprascapular nerve, anterior division, and then posterior division. This concept contradicts what is seen in the operating room and is noticed by most peripheral nerve surgeons. This cadaveric study was conducted to look specifically at the exact pattern of branching of the upper trunk of the BP. METHODS Ten cadavers (20 BPs) were dissected. Both supra- and infraclavicular exposures were performed. The clavicle was retracted or resected to identify the divisions of the BP. A posterior approach was used in 2 cases. RESULTS In all dissections the origin of the posterior division was in a more cranial and dorsal plane in relation to the anterior division. In most dissections the supra scapular nerve branched off distally from the UT, giving it the appearance of a trifurcation, taking off just cranial and dorsal to the posterior division. The branching pattern of the UT consistently had the following sequential arrangement from cranial and posterior to caudal and anterior: suprascapular nerve (S), posterior division (P), and anterior division (A), hence the acronym SPA. CONCLUSIONS Supraclavicular exposure of the BP exposes only the trunks and divisions. Recognizing the “SPA” arrangement of the branches helps in identifying the correct targets for neurotization, especially given that these 3 branches are the most common targets for BP repair.

  • Posterior Approach Technique for Accessory-Suprascapular Nerve Transfer: a Cadaveric Study of the Anatomical Landmarks and Number of Myelinated Axons
    Clinical Anatomy 20:140–143 (2007) ORIGINAL COMMUNICATION Posterior Approach Technique for Accessory-Suprascapular Nerve Transfer: A Cadaveric Study of the Anatomical Landmarks and Number of Myelinated Axons D. PRUKSAKORN,1* K. SANANPANICH,1 S. KHUNAMORNPONG,2 3 1 S. PHUDHICHAREONRAT, AND P. CHALIDAPONG 1Department of Orthopaedics, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Thailand 2Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Thailand 3Department of Pathology, Prasat Neurological Institute, Bangkok, Thailand Accessory-suprascapular nerve transfer by the anterior supraclavicular app- roach technique was suggested to ensure transferrance of the spinal accessory nerve to healthy recipients. However, a double crush lesion of the suprascapu- lar nerve might not be sufficiently demonstrated. In that case, accessory- suprascapular nerve transfer by the posterior approach would probably solve the problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical landmarks and histomorphometry of the spinal accessory and suprascapular nerve in the posterior approach. Dissection of fresh cadaveric shoulder in a prone position identified the spinal accessory and suprascapular nerve by the trapezius mus- cle splitting technique. After that, nerves were taken for histomorphometric evaluation. The spinal accessory nerve was located approximately halfway between the spinous process and conoid tubercle. The average distance from the conoid tubercle to the suprascapular nerve (medial edge of the suprascap- ular notch) is 3.3 cm. The mean number of myelinated axons of the spinal accessory and suprascapular nerve was 1,603 and 6,004 axons, respectively. The results of this study supported the brachial plexus reconstructive sur- geons, who carry out accessory-suprascapular nerve transfer by using the posterior approach technique.
