Assessment of outcomes in consecutive patients undergoing dorsal scapular nerve decompression.
Authors
Abstract
Periscapular pain has a broad differential diagnosis. Dorsal scapular neuropathy is part of that differential diagnosis but is often forgotten by clinicians, leading to delayed diagnosis, chronic pain, and potentially worse outcomes. The objective of this study was to describe our method for diagnosis, surgical technique, intraoperative findings, and outcomes in consecutive patients undergoing dorsal scapular nerve (DSN) decompression.
