Abstract
Very little literature has been published about the morphometry of the coracoid process of the scapula. The coracoid process along with acromian process and coraco-acromian ligament stabilizes the shoulder joint and gives structural integrity for the shoulder joint. In the present study, the length, breadth, thickness and the height of the coracoid process of the scapula is measured in 50 human dry scapula bones of adult size after careful excluding of abnormal morphology and variation. The pattern of coraco-glenoid space is also studied and the percentage is calculated. The results are compared with the previous studies and the significance of the morphological values of the coracoid bone is stated as it is an gateway for laproscopic and open shoulder surgeries.
