An Anatomical Study on Acromion, Coracoid and Glenoid Processes of Scapula | Chapter 11 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 4

The three scapula processes are being measured in the current study in order to determine their morphology and various parameters.

The pathophysiology of rotator cuff diseases and impingement syndrome are both significantly influenced by the morphology of the acromion. The coracoid process is necessary for several surgical operations affecting the shoulder joint. The dimensions of the glenoid process are crucial for creating glenoid components for total shoulder replacement. 42 unpaired human scapulae from the departmental museum of anatomy at a medical college in Eastern India were used in the current descriptive research. The efficacy of conservative or surgical therapy for shoulder joint impingement appears to be predicted by acromion shape. The coracoid process is the focal point of several arthroscopic and open surgical approaches to the shoulder. So, in procedures affecting the shoulder joint, its morphometry is crucial. The new work will be very beneficial for biomechanical engineering when designing implants for total shoulder replacement as well as orthopaedic procedures on the shoulder joint.

The findings will be very important for orthopaedic surgery and shoulder prosthesis production.
