Abstract

Introduction: Present study aims to determine the various dimensions of the glenoid cavity and to note the variation in its shape. Material and Methods: 123 dry, adult human scapulae were used for present study. Out of which, 60 belong to right side and 63 on left side. Length and breadth of glenoid cavity were measured by using the vernier caliper. Glenoid cavity index was calculated. We also noted the different shapes of glenoid cavity. Results: In present study, most common shape of glenoid cavity was pear shaped (51.22%) followed by inverted comma shaped (34.15%), followed by oval shape (14.63%). The average length of glenoid cavity on right side was 35.55±3.48 mm and on left side was 35.04±3.61 mm. The average breadth of glenoid cavity on right and left side were 22.51±2.51 mm and 22.81±2.88 mm respectively. Mean glenoid cavity index on right side was 63.62±6.73% and that of left side was 65.19±6.44%. Conclusion: Anatomical knowledge of shapes and dimensions of glenoid cavity are important for orthopaedic surgeons, anatomists, anthropologists and forensic experts.
