MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF SUPRASCAPULAR NOTCH OF SCAPULA IN NORTH INDIAN POPULATION

Rita Kumari, Renu Prasad

Abstract :

Introduction: Scapula is flat triangular bone lies on the posterolateral aspect of chest wall. Suprascapular notch (SSN) is present on superior border of scapula. Morphometric variation of notch has been identified. Compression of suprascapular most commonly observed at SSN and it is affected by shape of the SSN. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 76 scapulae in the Department of Anatomy, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi. The scapulae were observed carefully for different shapes of suprascapular notch and the presence of partial or complete bony idge within suprascapular notch Observation: In present study symmetrical U shape (47.36%) is most common followed by no notch in 26.31% scapulae, J shaped notch in (17.10%) cases and V shaped notch in (9.21%) cases. Conclusion: The knowledge of variations in shape of suprascapular notch and ossification of superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL) is very important for neurosurgeon, radiologist and orthopaedician to understand the cause of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome
