Abstract:
Pain after Shoulder Prosthesis Is Not Always Due to Infection or Loosening Abstract. Summary: Suprascapular nerve neuropathy is becoming increasingly recognized as a reason for persistent shoulder pain. The underlying cause may be iatrogenic, as in the case of our patient, or due to ganglionic compression or traction. Unfortunately, diagnosis and thus adequate therapy is frequently delayed. With this case study, we would like to bring the neuropathy of the suprascapular nerve into focus for the general practice.
