Purpose:In this study, because of the relationship with the subcoracoid impingement syndrome, various morphometry measurements of the coracoid process were calculated. Material and Methods:A total of 80 dry scapulae with unknown sex and age were obtained from the Department of Anatomy. Scapulae were classified into 3 groups according to shape of the region between the coracoid process and glenoidal cavity. Various measurements were calculated. Results:It was observed that, the percentapes of Type I spherical in shape was 37.5%, Type II square in shape was 32.5% and Type III was hooked in shape was 30%. Statistical analysis evaluations showed correlations between the length and thickness of the coracoid process (r =0.432, p< 0.05). In comparison of the right and left scapulae, the length of the coracoid process was observed to be longer on the right scapula than the left, and this difference was statistically significant (t =2.111, p< 0.05). Conclusion: In present study, it was observed that the morphometry of the coracoid process of the scapulae might show prominent differences. In patients presenting with complaints of shoulder pain, anatomical variations of the coracoid process , should be considered important in planning surgical interventions to the relevant area.
