The complex of neurovascular structures surrounding the coracoid process, particularly the axillary artery, the thoracoacromial artery and theirs branches, plays a critical role in shoulder function. Detailed dissection was performed in 36 shoulders from 18 embalmed cadavers. The focus was on axillary artery branches in relation to the coracoid process and the documentation of anatomical variations in this area. Significant findings include the categorization of thoracoacromial artery variations and the identification of acromial and clavicular branches as variable. A key measurement was mean distance between the thoracoacromial artery and tip of the coracoid process (31.89 mm). These findings offer valuable insight into the spatial relationships of these structures. The study provides important information on the vascular anatomy surrounding the coracoid process. Recognizing these anatomical variations is essential for planning safer and more effective shoulder surgeries, such as coracoclavicular stabilization and subcoracoid decompression. Detailed anatomical data are key for surgeons to prevent unintended injuries and enhance surgical success.

Bone age is a critical factor in personal identification, with the hip joint—encompassing the acetabulum and femoral head—commonly used in age estimation. Age assessments rely on factors such as bone porosity and morphological characteristics. These are currently conducted by experts and their conclusions can vary. The logistical challenge of transporting physical bones complicates the process. The increasing use of image processing techniques in the medical field provides a more efficient and convenient alternative. This study used image processing methods to analyze area ratios and percent porosity of the acetabulum and femoral head, with a statistical evaluation of the relationship between these parameters and age at a 90% confidence level (α=0.10). The dataset comprised images from 167 skeletons including 59 females aged 30 to 88 and 108 males aged 28 to 97. The analysis revealed a significant relationship between percent porosity and age in males, both in the acetabulum and femoral head, with P-values below 0.10 but this relationship was not observed in females.A significant relationship between area ratio and age was found in the femoral head region for both genders but not in the acetabulum. The accuracy and comparability of the results were enhanced by applying a standardized image processing protocol.
