|July 1, 1975
Summary
This study reports a rare case of double acromion and double coracoid, discussing shoulder anomalies and their embryological origins. It highlights various congenital scapular variations found in scientific literature.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Anatomy
- Embryology
Background:
- Shoulder anomalies can arise from various developmental processes.
- The scapula exhibits a wide range of reported congenital variations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of double acromion and double coracoid.
- To provide commentary on the comparative anatomy and embryology of these shoulder anomalies.
Main Methods:
- Case report of a patient with double acromion and double coracoid.
- Literature review of documented scapular anomalies.
Main Results:
- Detailed description of the anatomical findings in the reported case.
- Compilation and discussion of other known scapular anomalies including congenital elevation of the scapula, os acromiale, and glenoid variations.
Conclusions:
- The case contributes to the understanding of shoulder girdle developmental variations.
- Comparative anatomy and embryology offer insights into the etiology of these rare congenital anomalies.
