Introduction: Introduction: The Suprascapular Notch (SSN) is located
at the superior border of the scapula, just medial to the
base of the coracoid process. The knowledge of variations
in shapes and dimensions can be helpful to clinicians
to correlate the suprascapular nerve entrapment with a
specific type of notch.
Aim: This study was carried out to observe morphological
variation in shapes of SSN and morphometric analysis of
SSN.
Materials and Methods: A total of 120 adult scapulae of
unknown age and sex will be obtained from Department
of Anatomy, GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar and
Sola, Gujarat, India. The shapes of SSN were observed
and dimensions were taken by digital Vernier caliper.
Results: The most common type of SSN observed was
Type 2, a notch that was longest in its transverse diameter.
The least common type was Type 4. Type 5 SSN was absent.
The most common shape was ‘J’ and least common was
‘V’.Partial and complete ossification was also noted.
Conclusion: Knowledge of anatomical variations of
suprascapular notch is better for understanding location
and source of entrapment syndrome. Since, the present
study is performed with a limited number of dry scapulae,
so there is need of further clinical, radiological and
cadaveric studies.
