Abstract
Aim: Aim of this study is to know the morphology of SSN and Morphometry of SSN.
Introduction: Scapula (Shoulder blade) is a Thick, flat, Triangular bone. Located on the upper part of the posterolateral aspect of the thorax, against the second to seventh ribs. It is the bone that connects the humerus with the clavicle. The superior border of scapula is shortest and is separated from the root of the coracoid process by the suprascapular notch.
Materials and Methods: This study was done in 170 dry scapulae. 90- right and 80– left. Shape of suprascapular notch and measurements of notches were taken by using a vernier caliper. Results: In this study the most common type of supra scapular notch is Type -III was observed Based on Rengachary classification. And the Most common type of Shape of suprascapular notch is ‘J’ Shape.
Conclusion: Knowledge about Morphology and Morphometry about Suprascapular notch is more useful to treat suprascapular entrapment neuropathy.
Keywords: Suprascapular Notch, Rengachary Classification, Suprascapular Entrapment Neuropathy
