Prevalence and anatomy of the anomalous subclavius posticus muscle and its clinical implications with emphasis in neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome: Scoping review and meta-analysis

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

BACKGROUND: The subclavius muscle runs underneath the clavicle. However, there have been a few reports of a duplicated subclavius muscle which is commonly referred to as subclavius posticus muscle due to its orientation being posterior to the proper subclavius muscle. Its occurrence seems to potentially create a narrowing interval at the superior thoracic aperture as it crosses over the brachial plexus. It might also have functional influence on the shoulder girdle. PURPOSE: To provide comprehensive gross anatomy description of the variant &quot;subclavius posticus muscle&quot; and to investigate its reported clinical implications with emphasis on its involvement in causing brachial plexus compression. BASIC PROCEDURES: A scoping review with meta-analysis of the gross anatomy of the subclavius posticus muscle was conducted along with investigating its correlation to the thoracic outlet syndrome. Forty-seven articles were pooled through two rounds of the selection process. The relevant information was extracted and meta-analyzed. MAIN FINDINGS: The scoping review and meta-analysis of the 47 articles revealed a total prevalence of 11/2069 (4.9%); 10/1369 (5.1%) in cadaveric studies, and 1/700 (5.0%) in MRI studies. The subclavius posticus muscle is a short triangular muscle with an average length of 12cm and an average width of 1cm. It originates from the sternal end of the first rib in most cases with reported variants of one case originating from the costoclavicular ligament and one case where it was fused with the proper subclavius muscle. Its insertion is more variable: on the superior border of the scapula with variable length in 71.35%, on the coracoid process of the scapula in 25.42%, and on the clavicle in 0.90%. The subclavian nerve seems to be the dominant nerve supply with a 57.6% prevalence, while 25.8% are innervated by the suprascapular nerve. Other reported nerves were the nerve to the myolohyoid (4.5%), accessory phrenic nerve (4.5%), and a direct branch from the brachial plexus (2.0%). The blood supply was reported (only once) to be from the suprascapular artery. However, the venous drainage was not established at all. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS: The subclavius posticus muscle is a variant muscle occurring with a reported overall prevalence of 4.9%. It can compress the brachial plexus as it runs across at the space of the superior thoracic aperture with exquisite contact, and this can lead to a neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. It also can be involved in the vascular thoracic outlet syndrome. Lastly, it is important not to omit its potential influence in shoulder joint instability to some extent.
