Abstract EN
Suprascapular neuropathy is a pathology caused by injury or compression of the suprascapular nerve.
As the nerve runs from the anterior to posterior side of the scapula, the hot point where it is most susceptible to both injury and compression is the suprascapular notch.
A literature search reveals several potential predisposing morphological factors in this area.
However the most recent reports indicate that the structures at the suprascapular notch region may also prevent nerve injury and compression.
The role of the anterior coracoscapular ligament (ACSL) remains unclear.
While some studies indicate that it may predispose to suprascapular neuropathy, the newest study proposes a protective function.
The aim of the article was to review the function of the anterior coracoscapular ligament in the light of the most recent studies.
An understanding of the role of the ligament is essential for arthroscopic and other surgical procedures of this area in order to avoid iatrogenic injury of the suprascapular nerve.
