Abstract
The coracoid process is a part of the scapula and plays an important role in
shoulder function. The present case demonstrates bilateral separation of the
coracoid processes from the scapular bodies. The cause of this condition was
thought to be a failure of fusion of the ossification centers of the coracoid
processes with the scapular bodies. Bilateral unfused coracoid processes was
identified incidentally in a patient with recurrent dislocation in the left
shoulder. However, history of antecedent trauma to the coradoid region was not
found. It would be important to distinguish this condition from fracture or
nonunion of the coracoid process.
