Suprascapular entrapment neuropathy represents a chronic lesion of the suprascapular nerve due to compression, traction and/or friction within the area of the suprascapular notch. The surgical treatment consists of excision of the entire suprascapular ligament. The surgical exposure of the suprascapular notch through the trapezius muscle is illustrated using anatomical dissections.

D009408	Nerve Compression Syndromes	Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.

D010525	Peripheral Nerves	The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons.
