“…Vertebral border of Scapulae from the medial end of scapular spine to inferior angle of the scapula could be convex, concave, straight or mixed. 2 Graves classified scapulae as convex and scaphoid encompassing concave, straight and mixed in scaphoid scapulae.

Introduction: normal Scapulae possess three borders; superior, medial/vertebral and lateral. According to standard text books of Anatomy, Superior border is straight, vertebral border is convex and lateral border is straight. But during scanning of scapulae in the osteology lab in department of Anatomy UPUMS Saifai, scapulae with concave and straight vertebral border were detected. On literature search, it was found that such scapulae were designated scaphoid scapulae. Also, scanty literature describes such anomaly of scapulae. Hence the study was conducted. The aim of the study is to elucidate the prevalence of scaphoid scapulae in Indian Population and to bring out associated clinical significance. Methods: : Vertebral border of fortyone scapulae, assorted and of unknown sex from osteology lab of UPUMS Saifai India, were observed to find the incidence of scaphoid scapulae. Results: Out of total 41 scapulae observed, normal scapulae with convex vertebral border were observed in 19 (46.34%) while scaphoid scapulae were detected in 22 (53.66%). In category of scaphoid scapulae, scapulae with concave border were observed in 3 (13.64%), with straight border in 12 (54.55%) and those with mixed border in 7 (31.82%) specimens. Conclusion: literature states that this anomaly is congenital and associated with certain conditions such as nocturnal incontinence, catarrhal affections, adenoids, vasculosclerotic changes to name a few. If scaphoid scapulae is detected in developing fetus, one can predict associated anomalies and necessary precaution may be taken during rearing of child. Thus, knowledge of this anomaly is essential to clinicians, anthropologists and anatomists.
