Chronic shoulder pain.
Body
was changed:
Teres minor atrophy is a shoulder pathology seen usually as a part of other syndromes with rotator cuff muscle atrophy including quadrilateral space syndrome. Sometime it seen as isolated finding with unknown exact aetiology, but some studies suggest the considerable anatomical variation in both the origin and length of teres minor nerve that increaseincreases the risk of impingement and subsequent isolated teres minor atrophy.
