Popis: Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the morphology of the coracoid process and its relationship to body height in Thai cadavers. Materials and methods: Thirty-four shoulders were dissected, and the coracoid processes were measured for their length, width, thickness, and coracohumeral distance. The association between measured values and body height was analyzed. Results: The mean dimension of the coracoid process was 13.1 ± 2.3 mm in width (range 9.6–19.3 mm), 23.7 ± 4.8 mm in length (range 14.4–33.3 mm), and 8.9 ± 1.4 mm in thickness (range 6.7–12.5 mm). The mean coracohumeral distance (CHD) was 9.3 ± 2.1 mm (range 5.6–14.1 mm). Pearson's correlation showed a positive correlation between body height and coracoid width (r = 0.36, p
