Author(s): Divia Paul A*, Nidhi S and Ramakrishna Avadhani
Suprascapular notch (SSN) of the scapular is a depression on the lateral part of its superior border, which is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament as it transmits the suprascapular nerve to the supraspinous fossa. Study objectives were to correlate the variations in morphometric features of the human dry scapula and to calculate scapular index and infraspinous index of Southern part of Karnataka, India with an aim to generate reference data for both clinical and research purposes. A cross sectional study design was carried out with one hundred and fifty (150) dry adult human scapulae (70 right and 80 left). The variables of study included the sidedness of the scapular, shape of the suprascapular notch; superior transverse diameter (STD), inferior transverse diameter (ITD) and the maximum depth (MD) of the suprascapular notch .Scapular Index was calculated by scapular ..
