Suprascapular notch is the common site for the entrapment of the suprascapular nerve. Suprascapular nerve compression usually presents with vague pain across the scapula or dull shoulder ache. It is more common in over head athlets like volleyball players. Hence the study of morphology and morphometry of the notch is important clinically.
