Preliminary note on biometric data relating to the human coraco-acromial arch

S Renoux et al. Surg Radiol Anat. 1986.

Abstract

A biometric study based on 20 human scapulae made it possible to specify the variations in the gap of the coraco-acromial arch in relation to its depth and height. A graphic representation in rectangular coordinates, then in spatial representation in relation to the three planes of reference, leads to the following findings: the bony variations in the arch occur essentially: at the coracoid apophysis, and two types of arch can be distinguished depending on the predominance of bony or of ligamentous components.
