Abstract
<b>Background:</b> Os acromiale (OA) is an uncommon pathology with a variable prevalence rate among different populations. <b>Objectives:</b> The aim of this study was to report the frequency of OA utilizing shoulder MRI of patients with shoulder pathology. <b>Methods:</b> It was a retrospective study. After obtaining our IRB approval, we gathered all shoulder and upper arm MRIs from the radiology department and evaluated them. <b>Results:</b> The prevalence of OA was found to be 3.32%. The mean age of the affected patients was 50.87 years (25-81). <b>Conclusion:</b> The rate of OA in patients presenting with shoulder pain is 3.32% in Saudi Arabia, which correlates with what has been previously reported in the literature.
