Aim: To study glenoid morphology, its anatomical patterns and variations in Mahrashtrian Population to establish possible morphofunctional correlations related to race, geographic region and literature data. Materials and Methods: One hundred scapulae of unknown age and sex were studied. Morphological shapes of the glenoid were evaluated. The various diameters of glenoid cavity were measured. Statistical Analysis was done. Results: In the present study, the mean value of Superior-Inferior diameter (A) of the glenoid cavity on the right side was 40.82 ± 2.88 mm and on the left side was 39.49 ± 2.72 mm. The mean Anterior- osterior glenoid diameter (B) was 22.95 ± 2.06 mm on right side and 21.66 ± 2.08 mm on left side. The mean Anterior-Posterior glenoid diameter (C) was 29.08 ± 2.80 mm on right side and 28.09 ± 2.58 mm on left side. The shapes of glenoid cavities studied were oval [45%], pear shaped [34%] or inverted comma shaped [21%]. Conclusion: Variations in the size and shape of the glenoid cavity observed in the current study will be of great help for orthopaedic surgeons to understand the shoulder pathology better and to decide the proper size of the glenoid component for the shoulder arthroplasty.
