Dr Nowsheeba Khurshid, Dr Manmeet Kaur

Abstract :

Introduction: Morphometric details of scapula are crucial for understanding abnormalities such as glenohumeral instability, dislocation, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, suprascapular nerve entrapment, snapping shoulder etc. Material and Method: The material for the present study comprised of 30 adult scapulae of unknown sex, obtained from the Department of Anatomy, SKIMS Medical college, Srinagar. All measurements were taken by vernier caliper. Results and conclusion: Maximum length of scapula, Anterior width of scapula, Posterior width of scapula and Anterio posterior thickness of the medial and lateral borders of the body of scapula were measured. These parameters provide useful information for various surgical procedures involving fixation of scapula fracture, resection and reconstruction of scapula for a high grade sarcoma and the re-establishment of the glenohumeral joint.
