The medial supraclavicular nerves or anterior supraclavicular nerves (nn. supraclaviculares anteriores; suprasternal nerves) cross obliquely over the external jugular vein and the clavicular and sternal heads of the sternocleidomastoideus, and supply the skin as far as the middle line.
The left supraclavicular nodes are the classical Virchow's node because they receive lymphatic drainage of most of the body (from the thoracic duct) and enters the venous circulation via the left subclavian vein. The metastasis may block the thoracic duct leading to regurgitation into the surrounding Virchow's nodes.
The supraclavicular fossa is an indentation (fossa) immediately above the clavicle. In terminologia anatomica, it is divided into fossa supraclavicularis major and fossa supraclavicularis minor. Fullness in the supraclavicular fossa can be a sign of upper extremity deep venous thrombosis.
TOS can involve only part of the hand (as in the pinky and adjacent half of the ring finger), all of the hand, or the inner aspect of the forearm and upper arm. Pain can also be in the side of the neck, the pectoral area below the clavicle, the armpit/axillary area, and the upper back (i.e., the trapezius and rhomboid area).
Sometimes this vessel rises as high as 4 cm. above the clavicle; occasionally, it passes in front of the Scalenus anterior, or pierces the fibers of that muscle. The subclavian vein lies behind the clavicle, and is not usually seen in this space; but in some cases it rises as high as the artery, and has even been seen to pass with that vessel ...
Clavicle [1] (superiorly) Lateral border of Pectoralis Major [2] (medially) Medial border of Deltoid muscle [3] (laterally) It contains the cephalic vein, [4] and deltopectoral fascia, which is a layer of deep fascia that invests the three structures that make up the border of the triangle.
The clavicle, collarbone, or keybone is a slender, S-shaped long bone approximately 6 inches (15 cm) long [1] that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum (breastbone). There are two clavicles, one on each side of the body. The clavicle is the only long bone in the body that lies horizontally. [2]
A common cause of shoulder pain in rotator cuff impingement syndrome is tendinosis, which is an age-related and most often self-limiting condition. [ 14 ] Studies show that there is moderate evidence that hypothermia (cold therapy) and exercise therapy used together are more effective than simply waiting for surgery and they suggest the best ...
