Morphometric Study of Supra-Scapular Notch in Eastern Up
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction- Scapula is also known as the shoulder blade. The scapula is flat triangular bone that lies on the posterolateral aspect of the thorax. The superior border is thin and shortest and extends from the superior angle to the root of coracoid process. The supra-scapular notch is converted into Suprascapular foramen by supra-scapular ligament. The Supra-scapular foramen transmits Suprascapular nerve and Suprascapular vessels passes above the foramen. Aim and Objective- The study was determining the Variation of the Shape of Supra-scapular notch of dry human scapula in Eastern UP (Purvanchal) region of India. Results– In our study 150 dry human scapula on the basis of anatomical variations of supra-scapular notch is classified into four groups:- 1. V Shaped notch 2. U Shaped (shallow)notch 3. U Shaped (deep)notch 4. J Shaped Notch 5. Complete absence of Notch. Conclusion:-The results of present study showed anatomical variation of supra-scapular notch is essential for clinicians, for understanding of location and source of the entrapment of the suprascapular nerve.
