A minor part of the pain and instability around shoulder region is caused by entrapment neuropathies. When dealing with pain and muscle weakness around shoulder region, entrapment neuropathies should be kept in mind. Most common nerves that are prone to entrapment neuropathies around shoulder are suprascapular, axillary, long thoracic, and accessory nerves. Entrapment neuropathies are often caused by mechanical and dynamical compression of a nerve while passing through anatomically narrow fibro-osseous tunnels. Other causes of entrapment neuropathies might be space occupying lesions such as inflammatory edema, cysts, and tumors or post-traumatic conditions such as hematoma, fibrosis, and myositis ossificans. The common clinical alterations due to a nerve entrapment are pain, muscle weakness, paresthesia around certain localizations and muscle atrophies.
