Peripheral insensate neuropathy is one of the most commonest and the earliest forms of peripheral neuropathy. It is one of the leading causes of the disability in working population who are at risk. ⋯ The authors conclude that body height is an important and an independent risk factor for peripheral insensate neuropathy, irrespective of co morbidities. Height as a marker, helps the health care professionals in identifying the people who are at risk for peripheral insensate neuropathy.

A suprascapular nerve entrapment can occur at the suprascapular notch or at the spinoglenoid notch. So, the size and shape of the suprascapular notch are associated with suprascapular entrapment neuropathy as well as with an injury to the suprascapular nerve in arthroscopic procedures. The knowledge on the variations along the course of the nerve is important in understanding the source of the entrapment syndrome. ⋯ Such studies may be useful in understanding the role of the notch in causing nerve entrapment and to prevent iatrogenic nerve injuries while posterior approaches are made to the shoulder joint.
