Regional variation in fascicular architecture of the suprascapular nerve: implications for suprascapular nerve block techniques
The suprascapular nerve shows clinically meaningful regional variation in fascicular architecture: a proximal-to-distal transition from predominantly monofascicular to increasingly multifascicular architecture. These findings expand the current anatomical understanding of the nerve and may inform technique selection and future comparative safety studies.
