Abstract:

Objective To research anatomic morphology and clinical significance of scapular spine(SS) based on CT three-dimensation reconstruction. Methods A total of 180 SS (left 90, right 90) data collected from Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University were measured based on CT three-dimensation reconstruction, including the morphological characteristics, the shape of the SS, SS length, the width of the central and base length of SS, the width and height of eminence of SS. Results The SS was superficial and constant. The average length of SS and basement were (128.31±8.59)mm and (80.35±6.70)mm respectively. The central width of SS was(9.69±2.48)mm, the average width and height of eminence of SS were (8.98±2.68)mm and (13.48±2.92)mm, there was no statistical difference between sides of body (P>0.05). Conclusion CT three-dimensation reconstruction has unique advantages in anatomical morphology research of SS, offering substantial benefits for the orthopedist in preoperative planning, and using precontoured locking plates may be an additional aid during surgery, so as to reduce intraoperative risks.
