Morphometry and variations of the human suprascapular notch.

Aim: The present study proposes a simple method to study variations in shape and dimensions of suprascapular notch, to classify different types and subtypes of notch and to measure the thickness of superior transverse scapular bar (ossified superior transverse ligament of scapula).

Material And Methods: Seven hundred and twenty-eight dried scapulae were observed, examined and studied in detail. Scapulae with suprascapular notch, with suprascapular foramen having varying degree of ossification in the form of transverse scapular bar were included in the present study.
