MORPHOLOGY OF CORACOID PROCESS AND GLENOID CAVITY IN ADULT HUMAN SCAPULAE

Present study carried out on the 129 dry scapulas (67 right and 62 left sides) of unknown age and sex. In scapula, the coracoid process is arising from the antero-lateral aspect of the scapula, superior and medial to the glenoid fossa. The mean value of the coracoids length was found 41.0 mm in total scapulae. The coracoids width was found 7.4 mm in total scapulae. The mean of the coraco-glenoid distance was found 23.1 in total scapulae. The Glenoid cavity is the head of the scapula. The mean value of vertical length of the glenoid cavity was found 35.0 mm in total samples. The mean value of the maximum width of the glenoid cavity was found 24.9 mm in total scapulae. The width taken of the glenoid cavity from its upper half segment was found 16.6 mm in total. Knowledge of the normal anatomy and morphometry of the shoulder joint’s variant is important in the diagnosis and management of diseases of the shoulder joint.
