Background: The suprascapular notch, is a depression on superior border of the scapula, medial to the coracoid process. It is bridged by superior transverse scapular ligament, which is sometimes ossified and converts the notch into foramen. It transmits the suprascapular nerve to the supraspinatus fossa. Morphological variations of suprascapular notch can cause entrapment of suprascapular nerve, causing suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome, which accounts to 1 to 2% of shoulder pain in general population. The aim was to study the incidence of presence of bony supra-scapular foramen. Methods: A total of 50 dry scapulae, 25 right and 25 left were analysed to see for presence of supra - scapular foramen. Results: The incidence of suprascapular foramen was 8% of the total scapulae studied. Conclusion: Presence of supra - scapular foramen in Indian dry scapulae is high as compared to western literature. Anatomical knowledge of this foramen is important for surgeons as a cause for persistent shoulder pain, and as a risk factor during surgical explorations like supra - scapular nerve decompression.
