Abstract
In an effort to increase the beneficial results from decompressive surgery for suprascapular nerve entrapment, an anterior approach has been developed which minimizes manipulation of the suprascapular nerve and maximizes visualization while the decompression is being carried out. The technique and results in three patients are described.
