Summary

This study analyzed 110 European adult scapulas, finding no significant side-to-side differences in key dimensions like height and fossa measurements. These human scapula measurements are consistent across left and right sides.

Background:

Understanding human scapula morphology is crucial for anatomical studies and clinical applications.
Previous research has explored various scapular dimensions, but side-specific comparisons require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To statistically analyze and compare key dimensions of the human scapula between the right and left sides in European adults.
To determine if significant differences exist in scapular height, supraspinous fossa, infraspinous fossa, and medial angle between sides.

Main Methods:

A statistical analysis was performed on measurements from 110 human scapulas belonging to European adults.
Key dimensions including maximum scapula height, supraspinous and infraspinous fossa areas, and medial angle were measured and compared.

Main Results:

The statistical analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between the right and left sides for the measured human scapula dimensions.
Scapular height, supraspinous fossa, infraspinous fossa, and medial angle exhibited bilateral symmetry in this cohort.

Conclusions:

The findings suggest a lack of significant side-specific variation in the analyzed dimensions of the human scapula among European adults.
This bilateral symmetry has implications for anatomical reference standards and potential prosthetic design.
