Abstract

Background: Scapula is one of the important components of shoulder girdle. According to clinical experts several shoulder pathologies found to have an anatomical basis. The scapula is one of the bones found to present several variation based on race, sex, and region. Thus the osteometric measurements and morphometric knowledge of the scapula is essential to understand normal anatomy, for comparative anatomy, to treat different shoulder disorders and also for manufacturing of prosthetic products. Aims and Objectives: To obtain the baseline data of morphometric measurements of dry human scapula among South Indian Population. To compare the clinical importance of obtained parameters with anthropometric studies done by other authors. Materials and Methods: The following study was conducted on 105 dry adult human scapula obtained from the students of first MBBS. The measurements was taken using digital vernier calliper and obtained data was statistically analysed using student ‘t’ test using SPSS version 20. Results and Conclusion: The anthropometric measurements of the adult dry human scapula among South Indian Population are reported in this paper. This data could be of helpful for surgeons, anthropologists to understand the normal anatomy of scapula which play an important role in the management of different shoulder pathologies, rehabilitation of shoulder injuries, contribute to demographic studies, and also assist in forensic cases.
