Materials and Methods-131 dryIndianhuman scapulae (64-right and 67-left) were examined and analysed. Results-6.1%(8 in 131) scapulae presented with completely ossified STSLof which 3 on right side and 5 on left side. Conclusion- The anatomical knowledge of ossified STSLmay be helpful for clinician dealing with suprascapularnerve entrapment neuropathy and the knowledge of underlying mechanism of injury to nerve may be helpful in planning the appropriate treatment strategy.&#13;
