A hypertrophied ligament compressed the suprascapular nerve, causing isolated infraspinatus muscle atrophy in a 52-year-old man. This case highlights a specific cause of rotator cuff muscle wasting.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Rotator cuff injuries are common, but isolated infraspinatus atrophy can have varied causes.
  • Understanding nerve compression syndromes is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old male patient presented with isolated atrophy of the infraspinatus muscle.
  • Physical examination revealed no other shoulder abnormalities.

Findings:

  • The patient's infraspinatus muscle atrophy was attributed to compression of the suprascapular nerve.
  • Imaging and diagnostic procedures identified a hypertrophied inferior transverse scapular ligament as the cause of nerve impingement at the spinoglenoid notch.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case underscores the importance of considering ligamentous hypertrophy as a cause of suprascapular nerve compression.
  • Accurate diagnosis of the specific site and cause of nerve compression is essential for effective management of infraspinatus atrophy.
  • Further research into the prevalence and clinical significance of hypertrophied transverse scapular ligaments is warranted.
