A study of anatomy of nutrient foramen of tibia
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The understanding of the nutrient foramen location might be useful in particular surgeries like fracture management. In vascular bone grafts, the arterial supply is essential to the osteoblasts and osteocytes. The bone graft should have the periosteal and endosteal blood vessels along with the plenty of anastomosis. The present study was conducted on 50 adult dry tibia of both sexes, obtained from the Anatomy department of Anatomy Nalanda Medical College& Hospital. The presence of nutrient foramina was confirmed by identifying a well-marked grove which led to the commencement to the foramen. There are about 84.29% of the cases in which the nutrient foramen was located in upper 3rd part. In the middle 3rd part about 15.71% of the nutrient foramen was observed. In the lower 3rd of the part no nutrient foramen was seen. The posterior surface has more dense nutrient foramen as compares to medial and the lateral surfaces. The morphological knowledge about the nutrient foramen is essential to proceed with the free vascular bone grafting, as these have been used for the procedures like mandibular reconstruction and dental implants. The anatomical details about the nutrient foramen are required to the operating surgeon.
