A study of anthropometric measurements of the human scapula in Maharashtra, India
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The scapula (shoulder blade) is a triangular flat bone that lies on the posterolateral aspect of the thorax, overlying the 2nd to 7th ribs. The present study aimed to study the anthropometric measurements of the human scapula in Maharashtra, India. 50 intact and dry scapulae sourced from the bone banks of Medical colleges in Maharashtra were studied. The age and gender of the bones was not known. The measurements of bony dimensions of the scapula included the glenoid, coracoids process, acromion process, spine, and the body. Angles of the scapula and the various shapes of the suprascapular notch were also categorized. This anthropometric study of Scapula is helpful for referral of normal variation in many surgical procedures and in the radiological assessment related to shoulder especially the suprascapular notch.
