Morphological Variations of the Human Suprascapular Notch in the Rayalseema Zone of South India and its Surgical Implications
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Suprascapular notch is present at the lateral end of the upper border of the scapula close to the root of the coracoid process. Six different morphological variations have been described for the notch in the literature. Aim of the study: To, describe the morphological variations of the suprascapular notch in the population of the Rayalseema zone of south India. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 106 dried human scapulae, from the collections in the Department of Anatomy, KMC, Kurnool and RIMS, Kadapa. Results: In the present study, U- Shaped suprascapular notch, has the highest incidence of 44.3% followed by V- Shaped Notch, with an incidence of 41.5%, Absent suprascapularnotch has an incidence of 6.6%. Suprascapular ligament resulting in the formation of incomplete Suprascapular foramen has an incidence of 4.7% and Complete Suprascapular foramen has an incidence of 2.8%. Conclusion: Good understanding of these variations is important for orthopedic surgeons, radiologists and clinicians in understanding, evaluating and operating on the patients with unexplained pain and limitations in the movements of shoulder joint.
