Fifty cases of adult cadaveric subscapular arteries and its circumflex scapulae branches and from 102 of adult skelet on the axillary border of scapulae were measured. The results were that: the external diameter of the subscapular artery was 4.3cm with the length of 2.9cm; the axillary border of the scapula was 13.4cm; the thicknesses of the upper 1/3, middle 1/3, and lower 1/3were 13.9cm,11.0cm, and 7.4cm respectively. From the results of measurement, the subscapular artery pedicled graft of axillary border of scapular could be designed for repair the defects of upper or middle ments of humerus.
