It is important because of its morphometric variations. It is associated with many ailments of the shoulder joint. The morphometric of acromion plays a vital role in impingement syndrome and the pathogenesis of rotator cuff disease.&#13;
Objective: The aim of the study was to measure and record the morphometric values and the morphology of the acromion process of the scapula.&#13;
Methods: The study was carried out on 72 dry adults human scapula of unknown sex and age. The acromion length, acromion breath, acromio coracoids distance, and the acromio glenoid distance was measured with the help of a digital vernier calliper. The morphology of the acromio process was also noted.&#13;
Result: The type II(curved) acromion was found to be the highest 48 cases (66.67%) followed by (hooked)type III in 15 cases (20.83 %). and the minimum is type I (flat ) in 9 cases (12.5%) The mean acromial length was 43.10__ampersandsignplusmn;4.47 acromial width was 24.69__ampersandsignplusmn;2.60. The mean acromio coracoids distance was 34.17__ampersandsignplusmn;4.63 and acromio glenoid distance was 25.80__ampersandsignplusmn;2.96.&#13;
Conclusion: The result of the present study will help the orthopaedics surgeons to treat the various pathology of the shoulder joint. It is of great interest of radiologists to interpret the MRI reports, Physiotherapists to mobilize to shoulder joint, Anthropologists to study the bipedal gait.&#13;
