Objective: The present study is a simple method to classify the shapes of the suprascapular notch on the basis of gross examination. Methods: 250 dried scapulae were examined for variations of suprascapular notch. Results: Three types of suprascapular notches are described. 55 had u shaped 45 had v shaped and 55 had J shaped. Absence of notch was also noted. Conclusion: This study will help to correlate suprascapular nerve entrapment with a specific type of suprascapular notch.
