Abstract

The morphology of the suprascapular notch (SSN) has been associated with suprascapular entrapment neuropathy, and injury to the suprascapular nerve in arthroscopic shoulder procedures. This study aimed to describe the morphology and morphometry of the suprascapular notch in dry scapulae. The present study was done in 314 dry scapulae obtained from B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad. In the present study the suprascapular notch is classified on the basis of two classifications. According to one classification, SSN was classified into five types, type I without a discrete notch; type II a notch that was longest in transverse diameter; type III a notch that was longest in vertical diameter; type IV a bony foramen; type V a notch and a bony foramen. Based on gross appearance, SSN was classified as
