Nerves of the Scapular Region; Nerve Source Branches Motor Sensory Notes; axillary n. … Subscapularis Muscle, Coracobrachialis Muscle. A related pain is myofascial pain. Scapulothoracic bursitis and snapping scapula syndrome: a critical review of current evidence. The blood supply to the thoracic spinal cord is less abundant than in the cervical or lumbar region. It is responsible for the innervation of two of the muscles that originate from the scapula, namely the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles. Deep layer: Consists of the intrinsic back muscles, which function in movement of the spinal column. American Journal of Sports Medicine. Describe the anatomy of the posterior muscles of the thoracic and lumbar spinal regions. Start studying LECTURE 2: MUSCLES, NERVES, AND VESSELS OF THE SHOULDER REGION. Two divisions are described: Anterior division innervates anterior (flexor) muscles and posterior division innervates posterior (extensor) muscles. dislocation, the joint between the coracoid process of the scapula and the inferior surface
No named minor nerves arise directly from the anterior or posterior divisions. Nerve supply: From a branch of axillary nerve C5 C6 this branch shows a small pseudo ganglion. Runs through quadrangular space with axillary nerve & joins anterior circumflex humeral artery behind humerus. It supplies flexors of the The long thoracic nerve is only a motor nerve and it innervates the Serratus Anterior muscle. For example, the nerves originating proximally from the brachial plexus can be utilized to guide diagnosing the site of a closed stretch injury. it is an important site of attachment for the teres major m. and teres
Dorsal scapular nerve syndrome typically presents with a weakness of the levator scapulae and the rhomboid muscles, and results in a winged scapula. The long thoracic nerve arises from the ventral rami of cervical nerves C5, C6, and C7.1 In some people, the root from C7 is absent, and in others, there is a small root of the nerve arising from C8. Many orthotic braces exist to accommodate each unique plexus injury and reduction of pain appears to be the strongest motivator for brace compliance. 4 Describe Briefly the Musculotendinous or Rotator Cuff. Stabilisation of shoulder joint. In patients with average musculature, a 2.5-cm-long needle is directed perpendicularly at this point. Marie N. Hanna, ... Vicente Garcia Tomas, in Practical Management of Pain (Fifth Edition), 2014, The supraclavicular block is considered the spinal of the arm. Where all nerves originate in the scapular region. 0 Sign In Sign Up for Free Sign Up Scapular region flashcards. Innervation: Motor innervation is from the accessory nerve. 2-6). It is a pathway for neurovascular structures to move from the axilla anteriorly to the posterior shoulder and arm. joint), a broad depression located superior to the spine of the scapula. ligaments; the sternoclavicular joint has the range of movement, but not the

Nerves that innervate intrinsic muscles of the scapular region:4-Supra scapular nerve: The suprascapular nerve arises from the upper trunk (formed by the union of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves. These muscles are innervated by the posterior rami of segmental thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves (Fig. The dorsal scapular nerve (DSN) is a motor nerve arising from the ventral ramus of the C5 nerve root. Mark A. Mahan, Robert J. Spinner, in Nerves and Nerve Injuries, 2015. 100. Let’s get to the bottom of this condition and talk about who could be affected, what body parts are involved, and what are the symptoms, causes and treatments of this potentially “silent” condition of the shoulder. scapula into a supraspinatous fossa and an infraspinatous fossa, a notch on the superior border of the scapula located medial to the attachment
Positions that help avoid pain lend themselves to contracture development and prevention is paramount to optimal functional outcomes. humerus & lateral intermuscular septum; medial head: posteromedial surface

However, the dorsal scapular nerve may receive innervation from the fourth cervical nerve in as many as 8% of specimens (Lee et al., 1992). joint; it is frequently dislocated, the joint what connects the clavicle with the sternum, a synovial joint; its joint capsule is subdivided by a fibrous articular
The dorsal scapular nerve was found to lie a mean distance of 1.5 cm (range 1-3.2 cm) medial to the vertebral border of the scapula between the serratus posterior superior and posterior scalene and levator scapulae muscles. Once branching from the brachial plexus, the DSN pierces the middle scalene muscle, coursing deep to levator scapulae and the rhomboid muscles. Infraspinatus Origin: From the infraspinous fossa of the scapula. Insertion: Action: Nerve Supply . it is the site of origin of the supraspinatus m. a broad depression located inferior to the spine of the scapula. General anesthesia (GA) is an attractive option for surgical interventions of the scapula given the complex innervation of the scapular region, the extensiveness of surgery, and challenging positioning of the patient. (axillary a. is the continuation of the subclavian lateral
Intermediate layer: Consists of the serratus posterior superior and inferior. The cause of pain in the area of the scapula on the left is the abnormal operation of the nerve endings of the diaphragm. NERVES The skin of the scapular region receives sensory information from the medial branches of the posterior rami of cervical nerves C4 to C8and thoracic nerves T1 to T6(see Chapter 26). Action: It is the lateral rotator of humerus also help in abduction at shoulder joint by fixing head of humerus. The author suggests the following needling methods, but the practitioner should ensure that the needle is always outside the rib cage: In a thinner patient, a 2.5-cm-long needle is directed horizontally and either inferiorly or laterally, to ensure entrance into the muscle but remaining outside the rib cage. Furthermore, the middle portion of the trapezius muscle, which is innervated by the spinal accessory nerve, may mimic the action of the rhomboids. 200. Some recent studies have shown that the calculated volume of local anesthetic required for an ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block does not seem to differ from the conventionally recommended volume required for supraclavicular blocks performed with non–ultrasound-based nerve localization techniques.227 The minimum effective volume of 1.5% lidocaine with 5 µg/mL epinephrine was 32 mL.228 Multiple studies have confirmed that when UGRA is used, a single injection offers the same clinical profile and analgesic benefit as two injections.229,230, Vincent J. Devlin MD, Darren L. Bergey MD, in Spine Secrets Plus (Second Edition), 2012. cervical a. in ~30% of cases. Subscapular Spaces are (1) quadrangular and (2) triangular intermuscular spaces in the scapular region, that are clearly viewed from behind after reflecting the posterior part of the deltoid.The knowledge of subscapular spaces is necessary during surgery in the shoulder region. Injury to the long thoracic nerve or the dorsal scapular nerve suggest a more proximal injury because both originate at the root level. Nerve supply: From a branch of axillary nerve C5 C6 this branch shows a small pseudo ganglion. to delineate the 3 parts mentioned at left. from the greater tubercle. Structure. pulling the scapula forwards around the chest wall during pushing & punching actions. The quadrangular space provides a passageway for nerves and vessels passing between more anterior regions (the axilla) and the posterior scapular region (Figs. Of all the brachial plexus blocks, the supraclavicular block has the highest risk for pneumothorax, especially when done with the traditional “plumb bob” technique. mechanical advantage it cannot initiate this action; it is assisted by the
