Study of Scapular Measurements and Scapular Indices of Andhrapradesh Region

Abstract

Scapula, the triangular flat bone links the axial skeleton to the appendicular skeleton of upper limb along with clavicle. It shows modifications in its shape in the evolutionary process from quadrupeds to bipeds. Much of the changes have taken place in the infraspinous region. In the present study scapular measurements like breadth, length and infraspinous length are taken and parameters like scapular index, infraspinous index and are calculated which may help in comparative anatomy and defining the race.
