A MORPHOMETRIC AND MORPHOLOGIC ANALYSIS OF SUPERIOR BORDER OF DRY SCAPULAE

Aim: The recognition of the scapula anatomy and visible variations is important in surgical treatments arthroscopic procedures case any diseases shoulder. morphological morphometric characteristics scapular notch on superior margin are very important. Because compression suprascapular nerve extending inside causes entrapment neuropathy. Therefore, present study was planned order to contribute us as well practitioners about scapula.Materials Methods: Morphometric measurements (SL: length; SW: width; SI: index; STD: transverse diameter notch; MTD: medial VD: vertical diameter) were performed 90 (50 left; 40 right) scapulae Turkish population without unknown age gender. Furthermore, categorized through observational classification measurement. Results: mean width detected 98.87±7.71 mm right 94.38±13.01 left. index measured 67.51±4.40 63.80±8.29 SL, STD, VT larger SW, SI, MTD right. difference between left for SW SI statistically significant (p<0.005). most common appearance, U shape (64.4%) VD>MTD (%48.9). type moderately oblique (41.1%). Conclusion: We believe that data obtained would be helpful orthopedic surgeons intramedullary nailing radiologists differential diagnosis some osteolytic lesions region. help identify gender race forensic medicine anthropology.
