Abstract
Suprascapular nerve entrapment by a ganglion cyst can produce pain and shoulder dysfunction. We report six cases with the associated arthros copic intraarticular findings of a posterior capsulolabral injury (onl y the second such description) and review the literature. Based on the current literature and our experience, we document our treatment algo rithm for suprascapular nerve entrapment secondary to a ganglion cyst. We believe it is necessary to evaluate and treat the intraarticular p athology as well as the ganglion cyst/nerve entrapment to successfully manage these patients.
