This study quantifies coracoid process anatomy, revealing significant gender differences in pillar dimensions and orientation. These findings aid in understanding subcoracoid impingement and improving surgical imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Radiology

Background:

  • The coracoid process is crucial for glenohumeral joint surgery, but its complex 3D orientation complicates imaging.
  • Variations in coracoid anatomy can lead to subcoracoid impingement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively analyze the osseous anatomy of the coracoid process.
  • To identify anatomical variations and gender-specific differences in coracoid pillars.
  • To provide data for improved surgical and radiological applications.

Main Methods:

  • Performed quantitative and statistical analysis on 101 scapulae.
  • Measured dimensions (length, breadth, thickness) and triplane angulations of coracoid pillars relative to the glenoid plane.
  • Analyzed data for gender-specific differences.

Main Results:

  • Detailed mean dimensions and angular orientations for inferior and superior coracoid pillars were established.
  • Statistically significant gender differences (P < 0.05) were observed in pillar lengths, breadths, and projections.
  • New radiographic views and a geometric model for impingement were developed.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides critical anatomical data for the coracoid process, essential for orthopedic surgery.
  • Understanding gender-specific variations aids in diagnosing and treating subcoracoid impingement.
  • The findings facilitate the design of surgical hardware and improved imaging techniques.
