Abstract:
A cutaneous branch of the suprascapular nerve was observed in 9 from 180 Chinese adult arms (5.0?1.62%), it has been found bilaterally in 3, and unilaterally in other 3 male cadavers.The cutaneous branch arose from the stem of an essentially normal suprascapular nerve under the superior transverse scapular ligament. After passing between the coraco-clavicular and coraco-acromial ligaments the cutaneous branch pierced obliquely the deltoid muscle and supplied the proximal third of the antero-lateral aspect of the arm. The distribution territory of the cutaneous branch coincided with the anterior half of the deltoid muscle.
