Journal Title: Harsukh Educational Charitable Society International Journal of Community Health and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The scapula is a flat triangular bone situated posteriorly overlying the second to seventh ribs on both the side. The present study was conducted to determine the morphological type of scapulae. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 68 scapula bones of either side. The shape of the glenoid fossa was considered as pear-shaped or inverted comma shape in presence of a glenoid notch & oval in absence of notch. Anterior-posterior glenoid diameter-1 (AP-1), Anterior-Posterior Glenoid Diameter-2 (AP-2), Length, Breadth and Glenoid cavity index (GCI) was assessed. Results: Shapes of glenoid cavity was pear (34), comma (24) and inverted shape (10). The difference was significant (P- 0.01). The mean length of the scapula was 138.4 Abstract mm, breadth was 98.12 mm, SI glenoid diameter was 36.4 mm, AP glenoid diameter 1 was 25.36 mm, AP glenoid diameter 2 was 16.22 mm and glenoid cavity index was 68.2%. Conclusion: Scapula is a bone of shoulder girdle which communicates with humerous and clavicle. The most common type of shape of glenoid fossa was pear followed by comma and inverted.
