Abstract :

AIM: To study morphological patterns and osteometric parameters of acromion process and glenoid cavity along with its clinical importance.

MATERIALS & METHODS: 68 dry scapula of unknown sex and age were studied. In addition to acromion parameters glenoid cavity parameters and coracoids processparameters, the maximumscapular length, width, acromio–coracoid andacromio–glenoid distance were also measured.

RESULT: Among the morphological parameters,quadrangular shape of tip of acromion was commonly found. 57.35% scapula had smooth inferior surface. Entheseophytes presented in 32.35% scapula mainly in type III. Type I acromion process and oval shaped glenoid cavity was common. On comp� various osteometricparameters for significance, correlation was found between Coracoid Length of both sides, scapular length and Acromial Length, Scapular Width and Acromial Width, Glenoidal width and height, Acromion–coracoid and Acromio–glenoid dist.
