Anthropometric parameters in lateral and superior views.
C: Glenoid height: distance between supraglenoid tubercle and infraglenoid tubercle [24]D: Glenoid width: major transversal axis perpendicular to the glenoid height axis [24] G: Glenoid version: anteversion or retroversion with respect to the horizontal axis of the scapula. Degrees of anteversion or retroversion α: α angle: formed by the lines that connect the center of the glenoid fossa with the tip of the coracoid process and the most posterior point of the acromion [25] β: β angle: formed between the axis of the outer border of the scapula and the line connecting the center of the glenoid fossa to the posterior angle of the acromion.

Anthropometric parameters in medial, anterior, and posterior views.
A: Scapular length: distance between superior and inferior angle [24] B: Scapular width: distance from vertebral border at scapular spine level to the lowest point of the glenoid fossa [24] E: Glenopolar angle: angle between the line tangent to the articular surface of the glenoid fossa and the line connecting the most cranial point of the glenoid fossa with the lower vortex of the scapula [25] a: Measurement “a”: distance between the deepest area of the anterior face of the scapula and the most dorsal point of the acromion b: Measurement “b”: distance between the posterior edge of the glenoid fossa and the medial tubercle of the scapular spine.
