Ligament of the Scapula Transverse Superior

The transverse inferior scapula ligament (l.transversum scapulae inferius, pnb, bnb) is a ligamentous apparatus located between the two shoulder blades and connecting them in the anterior part. It provides stability to the shoulder joint and prevents dislocation.

The transverse superior scapula ligament (l. transversum scapulae superior, pna, bna), on the contrary, is located in the back of the scapula, where it connects the scapula to the clavicle and ensures its stability. It also plays an important role in maintaining stability of the shoulder joint.

Both transverse inferior scapula ligaments (l. transversum scapulae inferior, pnb, bnb), as well as the transverse superior scapular ligaments (l. transversum scapulae superior, pna, bna), play an important role in ensuring the stability of the shoulder joint, as well as in maintaining the correct shape shoulder blades.

If the transverse inferior (l. transversum scapulae inferior, pnb, bnb) or superior (l. transversum scapulae superior, pna, bna) ligaments of the scapula are damaged or ruptured, instability of the shoulder joint or even dislocation of the scapula may occur. In such cases, surgery is necessary to restore stability to the shoulder joint. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the scapula ligaments and, if necessary, consult a doctor.

The transverse superior scapular ligament is a complex tissue connection located in the posterior surface of the scapula and provides its strength and stability. This ligament connects two of the three scapular bones together, allowing them to work together. The formation of this ligament is determined by genetic factors and is important for maintaining normal functionality of the chest.

In general, the superior scapular joints lie at the base of the superior border of the scapula on either side of the vertebral column. The ligament has the shape of a loop and performs the function of securing and stabilizing the scapula through its depth and structure. It consists of many dense long collagen fibers connected to articular fibers, tendons and muscle fibers
