Summary

An unusual elongated canal was observed on an adult human left scapula, with the scapular notch absent. Awareness of this anatomical variation is crucial for surgical procedures in the shoulder region.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Anatomical variations of the human scapula can impact surgical procedures.
  • Understanding regional morphology is essential for orthopedic and trauma surgery.

Observation:

  • An adult human left scapula presented with an abnormal elongated canal.
  • This canal was located posterior and inferior to the coracoid process.
  • The typical scapular notch was notably absent on the observed bone.

Findings:

  • A rare anatomical variant of the scapula was identified.
  • The presence of an elongated canal instead of a standard scapular notch.
  • This specific morphology may represent a previously undocumented variation.

Implications:

  • Knowledge of this scapular anomaly is important for surgeons operating in the shoulder girdle.
  • Accurate anatomical identification is critical for preventing surgical complications.
  • This finding contributes to the understanding of skeletal variations and their clinical relevance.
