Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The human Scapula presents various features in terms of different anatomic features and dimensions. These variations have made it one of the most interesting bones in the body. Materials and Methods: The present study deals with the morphological and anatomical variations in the acromion process. The present study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy People’s College of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bhopal. 136 scapulae were observed out of which 96 were males and 40 were female scapulae. Acromion processes were classified into Type I (flat), Type II (curved) and Type III (hooked) as suggested by Bigliani et al. The shape of acromion was classified as per Gray D.J (1942) as Type 1- Quadrangular, Type-2- Triangular, Type-3- Falciform, Type- 4- Intermediate. Observation and Results: The present study shows that Quadrangular type of acromion was commonest 51.47%, followed by Triangular (19.11%), Falciform (25.0%) and Intermediate (4.41%). In the present study of 136 dry scapulae, type II (curved) acromions were observed in majority (42.17 %), whereas type I was present in (38.55%) and type III with (19.23 %) respectively. The results were tabulated and compared with previous studies. Conclusion: In the present study Quadrangular type of Acromion was found more commonly than Falciform and Traingular types. The type III (hooked) acromion, was associated with most of the rotator cuff tears.
