Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to calculate the morphometric values of scapula and to determine the scapular index in Marathwada population. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 142 adult dry human scapulae of known sex in department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, and Aurangabad. Out of these, 102 belong to males and 40 belong to females. Result: Mean scapular length and breadth were statistically significant as having p value <0.05. The mean scapular length was 141.8 ± 8. 23 mm and 123.887.57 mm in males and femalesrepectively. The mean scapular breadth was102.836.24 mm in males and 90.456.19 mm in females. The correlation between scapular length and breadth was expressed as scapular index. The mean scapular index was 72.34.2mm in males and 73.12 4.75mm in females. Conclusion: Knowledge of scapular measurements like scapular length, breadth and index can be useful to determine the sex of an individual in medicolegal cases.

Keywords: Scapular Length; Scapular Breadth; Scapular Index.
