Thanks to the teaching of Dr. Sean Lin and Dr. Stanley K H Lam, were now more familiar with suprascapular nerve. The following example is a 53-y-o female patient with right posterior shoulder soreness. The impingement signs were grossly OK , and ultrasonography showed only degenerative tendinopathy of the rotator cuff tendons. However, while moving the US probe towards the back of the shoulder, we found a swollen nerve fascicle within the suprascapular nerve, just at the level of spinoglenoid fossa. The inferior transverse scapular ligament above and suprascapular artery were also visible here.
