Owing to its many variations, scapula became one of the most interesting bones of the human skeleton.
To measure acromial and glenoid morphology in to describe their anatomical patterns and variations in Egyptians to establish possible morphofunctional correlations related to race, geographic region and literature data.
One hundred and sixty scapulae of unknown age and sex were studied. Morphological shapes of the tip of the acromion; types of acromion; and morphological shapes of the glenoid were evaluated. Length and width of the scapulae, length, breadth and thickness of the acromion process and distances of the acromio-coracoid and acromio-glenoid in addition to glenoid diameters were measured.
The morphometric values of the two sides were analysed using an unpaired t-test. Statistical significance was set p≤ 0.05.
The intermediate shape of the acromion presented with the highest incidence, while the cobra shaped presented with the lowest distribution in both sides. The oval shaped glenoid cavity presented with the highest incidence while the inverted coma shaped showed the lowest incidence. These results are in match with other population. However, the morphometric values of the scapula, acromion process and glenoid cavity were higher than reported in Turkish and Indians.
Our data are important to compare Egyptian scapulae to those from various other races that could contribute to demographic studies of shoulder disease probability and management in Egyptian population.
由于肩胛骨存在多种变异，它成为人类骨骼中最有趣的骨骼之一。
测量埃及人肩峰和关节盂的形态，描述其解剖模式和变异，以建立与种族、地理区域及文献数据相关的可能的形态功能相关性。
研究了160具年龄和性别未知的肩胛骨。评估了肩峰尖端的形态形状、肩峰类型以及关节盂的形态形状。测量了肩胛骨的长度和宽度、肩峰的长度、宽度和厚度、肩峰与喙突及肩峰与关节盂的距离以及关节盂直径。
使用非配对t检验分析两侧的形态测量值。设定统计学显著性为p≤0.05。
肩峰的中间形状发生率最高，而眼镜蛇形状在两侧的分布最低。椭圆形关节盂发生率最高，而倒逗号形状发生率最低。这些结果与其他人群相符。然而，肩胛骨、肩峰和关节盂的形态测量值高于土耳其人和印度人报告的值。
我们的数据对于将埃及人的肩胛骨与其他不同种族的肩胛骨进行比较很重要，这有助于对埃及人群肩部疾病概率和治疗的人口统计学研究。
