The osteometric measurements and morphometric knowledge of the scapula is essential to understand and treat different shoulder disorders.All the components of the scapula have clinical relevance for which the knowledge of the normal anatomy is essential.
The glenoid measurements are important to design the glenoid component of the shoulder joint in shoulder arthoplasty and also treatment of glenoid fractures ,rotator cuff tears ,bony Bankarts lesion, evaluation and management of shoulder joint instability all require precise knowledge of its anatomy.
The length and width of the acromion is of paramount importance in the management of rotator cuff tears and impingement syndrome
The acromio-coracoid and acromio-glenoid distances have arole in rotator cuff lesions, and impingement syndromes affecting the shoulder and play an important role in their management .
Suprascapular nerve entrapment can occur due to anatomical variations of suprascapular notch , asmaller supra scapular notch could predispose for suprascapular nerve entrapment more than a larger notch .
Gleno-polar and glenoid inclination angles are important while deciding on the treatment and prognosis of floating shoulder.
The aim of this work was to measure and record the osteometric data of the human dried scapulae of Egyptians.And to Study the measurements of the scapula in living Egyptian individuals in relation to age , sex ,body mass index, side , and length of scapula by using radiography.
Materials and methods
This study was carried out on 200 living human Egyptian individuals of both sexes. individuals were divided into two groups according to age,Group A included 100 individuals from age 20- |
