Sensory innervation of the human shoulder joints in healthy and in chronic pain shoulder syndromes

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings report a global innervation map of the human shoulder joints, especially the glenohumeral one, and this knowledge might be of interest for arthroscopic surgeons allowing to develop more selective and unhurt treatments, controlling the pain, and avoiding the loss of afferent innervation after surgical procedures. To the light of our results the postero-inferior glenohumeral capsular region seems to be the more adequate to be a surgical portal (surgical access area) to prevent nerve lesions.PMID:38154784 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152206
