shoulder question - mt3


Posted: Feb 17, 2011

He has pain in the intrascapular area of the right shoulder. 

I can't tell if the doc says intrascapular or interscapular.  Are they interchangeable?  I am inclined towards him saying intra- but I can't be sure and can't ask him. 

thanks.

Could also be infrascapular. nm. - ...

Intra/interscapular...sm - GT

They are not interchangeable. Intra means within the scapula. Inter means between the two scapulae. Infra means below. It might be hard to know unless you know the patient's situation, symptoms, etc. For instance, could be having pain that feels like it's behind the scapula so that would refer to intra, pain between would be inter, pain below would be infra. : )
