Abstract

Background: Limited knowledge about anatomical variations is one of the causes of unexplained symptoms and under or maltreated conditions. Suprascapular nerve entrapment in the suprascapular notch is not an uncommon event causing a disabled limb. Studying the anatomical variations of suprascapular notch is important for clinical practice regarding diagnosis and management of the suprascapular nerve injuries.

Aim: Determination of the variation in the morphology of the suprascapular notch in Egyptian dry scapulae.
Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 55 dried adult scapulae of unknown sex. Suprascapular notch measurements and scapular dimensions morphometry were carried out.

Results: Type II is the most prevalent type (47.3%) among the examined Egyptian scapulae, followed by type III (29.1%).

Conclusion: The present study delivers data about the morphology, type and dimensions of the suprascapular notch in Egyptian dry scapulae along with the safe zone and the scapular dimensions.
Keywords: Suprascapular notch, SSN safe zone, SSN measurements, Scapular measurements.
