Abstract

There is no statistical data to establish variation in coracoids process fusion of shoulder joint in males in central India population. This significant oversight can lead to exclusion of persons of interest in a forensic investigation. Coracoid process fusions in males were analyzed on radiological basis to assess the range of variation of coracoids process fusion at each age. In this study the X ray films of the subjects were divided into three groups on the basis of degree of fusion. Firstly, those which were showing No Fusion )N), secondly those showing Partial Union )PC), and thirdly those showing Complete Fusion )C). Observations made were compared with the previous studies.
