Aim: The suprascapular nerve that lies in the suprascapular notch of scapula requires special attention as it supplies muscles which initiate abduction of the shoulder. From its origin in the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, the suprascapular nerve passes through the suprascapular notch to supply the supraspinatus later it passes through the spinoglenoid notch to supply the infraspinatus. During its course there is a chance of entrapment of the nerve in the suprascapular notch due to its different shapes and dimensions which leads to suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. Materials __ampersandsignamp; Methods: The present study was done on 43 dried human scapulae. The suprascapular notch was observed in each bone to find out variations in its shape. Results: This study showed three different types of suprascapular notches. The scapulae showed U, V, __ampersandsignamp; J shaped notches, foramen formed by ossification of the transverse scapular ligament, and coexistence of notch and foramen due to ossification of the anterior coracoscapular ligament. Conclusion: These variations in the suprascapular notches are a great help to clinicians for early diagnosis of suprascapular nerve compression.
