Abstract
The scapula is a large , flat triangular bone which lies on the posterolateral aspect of the chest. From the evolutionary point of view, scapula has undergone modifications especially in its shape. Scapular index has been used to note such modifications. This study was done on 100 dry unpaired adult human scapulae of unknown sex in the Coimbatore Medical College and Government Medical College and ESIC Hospital, Coimbatore. In the present study scapular measurements like length , breadth, infraspinous length and projection length of the scapular spine were taken and parameters like scapular index and infraspinous index were calculated . This indices may help in the comparative anatomy and defining the race.
