Abstract:

Objective To study the anatomical morphological features of coracoid process by 3D reconstruction of scapular CT, and to provide anatomic basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of related diseases. Methods The imaging data of 256 patients with CT three-dimensional reconstruction of scapula were selected and the coracoid process related anatomical data were measured and compared and analyzed in the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Southwest Medical University. Results The anatomical data of 256 cases of coracoid process reconstruction model were analyzed. The width of the tip of the coracoid process was (14.31±2.71) mm and the thickness of the apex was (8.79±1.44)mm. The width of the folded part was (22.87±2.82) mm, the thickness of the folded part was (14.68±2.39) mm, the width of the base was (26.29±3.05) mm, the length of the base was (10.71±3.01) mm, the length of the tip to the base was (19.36±2.35) mm. There were significant differences in the thickness of the coracoid tip, the width of the reentrant part and the length from the reentrant part to the base of the coracoid process (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in other anatomical morphology of the coracoid process (P>0.05). Conclusion Three-dimensional CT reconstruction can provide anatomical parameters of coracoid process and provide anatomic basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
