A computed tomography study on the correlation between the morphometry of the suprascapular notch and anthropometric measurements of the scapula

Abstract

Background: The suprascapular notch is a clinically important site because it is the main site of injury and compression of the suprascapular nerve. Its shape and (Folia Morphol 2016; 75, 1: 87-92)

Morphological Variations of the Suprascapular Notch: Clinical Relevance in Suprascapular Neuropathy Vis-a-Vis Ossified Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament

“…The incidence of suprascapular foramen in our study is comparable and in concordance with various ethnic population based studies. After going through available literature of study on completely ossified STSL, we found concordance of our incidence with Polguj M et al [16] (Poland) and Grey DJ et al [17] (America and Europeans) as shown in In our morphological study on 106 scapulae, we found most common type of SCN is type III (40.6%) and this observation is in accordance with previous cited studies by Jadhav S et al [9] (39.79%)and Agrawal D et al [21](45.0%).Second most common finding regarding our study is type I (26.4%) of suprascapular notch variation and this finding is similar with previous studies by Iqbal K et al [7] (22.5%), Kannan U et al [13] (20.0%) and Nagraj S et al [22](23%) . There is lack of standard classification regarding morphological study on SCN of scapula.…”

Study of Glenoid Cavity of Human Scapula and Its Clinical Importance

“…The combined average of both sides was 69.09± 4.16mm. Polguj M et al [15] noted the combined GCI to be 72.35±5.55, which was higher than the present study. The mean cavity index of 70.37±4.08% on right side while 68.59±4.36% on left side recorded by Dhindsa et al [16] were found very close to present study.…”

A Morphometric Study of Suprascapular Notch and Its Safe Zone

“…Therefore various studies have been done on suprascapular notch variations in different populations. Rengachary et al, [6] Ticker et al, [11], Bayramoglu et al, [12] Natsis et al, [13] Sinkeet [14] Wang [15] and Polguj [16]. Depending on the shape of suprascapular notch and the degree of ossification, Rengachary et al, [6] classified SSN into six types .…”
