<![CDATA[Introduction: The shoulder joint is the most important joint although most commonly dislocated jointin human body. The most common problem of shoulder joint replacements is the osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) andcomminuted fractures of the shoulder joint. The aim of the current study was to acquire morphometric datafor the acromion process variations in shape and various dimensions of the acromion process of the scapula.Material and Method: Total 152 subjects’ scapula according to their side which was equally divided into76 right and 76 left. The morphometric analysis of the acromion process of scapulae was recorded accordingas per Bigliani-Morrison et al. classification and dimensions were measured by using vernier callipers.Observation and Results: It is observed that the mean length of acromion on either side does not differsignificantly, while the mean width of acromion and its mean thickness if found to differ statisticallysignificantly on both sides. The acromio-coracoid distance shows no significant difference on either side.Discussion: There are many studies i.e. by the Singroha R et al (north India), Gosavi et al (Maharashtra),Singh et al (Rajasthan), Mansur et al (Nepalese), Paraskevas et al (Greek) revealed that the mean of thescapular length, width, thickness and coraco-acromial distance in centimeter found almost the same incorrespondingly with our study.Conclusion: To conclude acromion process knowledge are useful for orthopaedic surgeon during surgery ofshoulder joint with associated pathology of the rotator cuff.]]>
