Morphometric study of suprascapular notch in Dried Human Scapula
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Background Variation in the morphology of suprascapular notch is associated with suprascapular nerve entrapment neuropathy. So, the knowledge about different shapes of suprascapular notch is important for clinicians in understanding the source of the entrapment syndrome. Aims & Objectives The aim of this study is to document the incidence of morphological variations in shape of suprascapular notch in Indian dry scapulae & compare it with incidence among various races of world to know its clinical significance. Materials & Methods A total of 226 dry human scapulae of both sides are analyzed to see the variation in the shape of suprascapular notch on superior border of scapula. Results In the present study, we found five different shapes of suprascapular notches. Out of 226 scapulae, 81 (35.84%) scapulae has Deep U Shaped, 72 (31.86%) scapulae has shallow U Shaped, 49 (21.68%) scapulae has J Shaped, 13 (5.75%) scapulae has V Shaped & 11 (4.87%) scapulae has indented suprascapular notch. Among these different types, Deep U shape is most common & Indented is least common type of shape of suprascapular notch. Conclusion The knowledge about the different shapes of suprascapular notch and its involvement in suprascapular nerve entrapment neuropathy helps the clinician in early diagnosis and planning about the most suitable surgical intervention.
