A STUDY OF THE ORBITAL INDEX OF HUMAN DRY SKULLS IN POPULATION OF UTTAR PRADESH
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ANATOMICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the orbital anthropometric variation in the normal population. Orbital Index is one of the most important anthropometric parameter. Index varies with race, regions within the same race & period in evaluation. Anthropometric study of orbit is of immense importance on account of its various implications in medical science ranging from ophthalmic surgery, maxilla- facial surgery and neuro- surgery. It is also helpful in plastic surgery (reconstructive surgery) and is used to treat congenital or post traumatic facial disfigurements successfully. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 50 dry skulls i.e 100 orbits (both right & left orbits of skull were measured) in Department of Anatomy, S.N Medical College, Agra. The measurement was taken directly using digital vernier caliper. Orbital Index was calculated by measuring orbital height and orbital width in order to evaluate the orbital size & shape. Results: In the present study, mean orbital height of left orbit was 35.32±6.41 and right orbit was 35.21±6.25 mm, mean orbital width of left orbit was 41.57±6.93 mm and right orbit was 41.73±7.2 mm. Mean orbital index of left orbit was calculated as 82.71±12.10 and for right orbit 82.92±13.02. Conclusion: The findings of our study suggest that the studied population belongs to microseme category.
