Objective: The objective of this study was to obtain the morphological and morphometric variations of the glenoid cavity of the scapula in the population of Bihar and compare it to that of the study done in different races by the previous author. Method: A total of 120 dry adult human scapulae of unknown age and sex in which 60 belong to the right side and 60 belonging to the left side were obtained from the Department of Anatomy and forensic medicine of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna and also from other medical colleges of Bihar. Results: The most common shape of the glenoid cavity recorded in this study was pearshaped followed by inverted comma-shaped. The least common shape was oval. The mean scapular length was observed as 137.11±8.72 mm, the mean breadth of scapula was 98.73±10.92 mm, the mean supero-inferior glenoid diameter was 36.34±3.91 mm, the mean anteroposterior glenoid diameter was 24.95±4.58 mm and mean glenoid cavity index was 68.82±10.33. Conclusion: Morphological and morphometric analysis of the glenoid cavity of the scapula is very important during designing and fitting of glenoid components in total shoulder arthroplasty and its associated shoulder pathology.
