Suprascapular notch cross-sectional area by MRI do not yield accuracy in the diagnosis of suprascapular nerve entrapment - counter point of view

Abstract

We read with interest the recently published original article by Park et al. presenting the suprascapular notch (SSN) cross-sectional area as a candidate MRI diagnostic indicator in suprascapular nerve (SN) entrapment with claimed high accuracy. We appreciate the authors' attempt to explore additional parameters utilizing the MRI imaging method.

Nonetheless, the study contained vital anatomical errors that need to be addressed and clarified.
