Two cases of infraspinatus muscle atrophy in athletes were treated operatively. [case 1] A 21 year-old left-handed volleyball male player.We performed a two stage-operation on his left shoulder. At first we released the suprascapular nerve ( resection of the superior transverse scapular ligament, neurolysis and partial shaving of the base of the spinoglenoid ) and two months later, we performed a repair of the rotator interval.[case 2] A 17 year-old right-handed student pictcher.We perfomed decompression of the suprascap u lar nerve in the same way as in case 1.In all the operations, we found the supascapular nerve was swollen and inflamed at t h e region between the suprascapular and the spinoglenoid notch. In case 1, he was free of pain and able to resume of pitching successfully after surgery. In case 2 however, he got little relief of pain and was still weak. In his case, not only did he have suprascapular neuropathy but also disorders of the infraspinatus muscle.
