ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction: <\/strong>Supra scapular notch is present on the superior border of the scapula. It gives passage to the suprascapular nerve. The supra scapular notch is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament and converted into supra scapular foramen. Ossification of this superior transverse scapular ligament may compress or entrap the suprascapular nerve which is passing through the foramen. The present study was undertaken to find out the incidence of occurrence of the ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament.<\/p>\n

Materials and methods: <\/strong>89 scapulae were collected from the Department of Anatomy, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad. Damaged scapulae were excluded. All the scapulae were examined to note the incidence of occurrence of the ossification of the transverse scapular ligament and also any variations of it.<\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>Out of 89 scapulae 15 scapulae of the scapulae were bearing ossified superior transverse scapular ligament in which 6 were of the right side and 6 were of the left side. Duplication of the superior transverse scapular ligament was observed in one left scapula. Incomplete ossification was observed in 2 scapulae 1 on the right and another on the left side.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong>Based on the results of the present study, ossification of the transverse scapular ligament is not very rare in this populations group. So, the knowledge about the ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament and the risk of supra scapular nerve entrapment is very much essential for the physicians and the surgeons while dealing with these cases.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> Scapula, Ossification, Superior transverse scapular ligament, Nerve entrapment.<\/p>\n
