A study on topography of clavicular neurovascular foramina and its surgical implications
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim To study the topography of clavicular nutrient foraminaMaterials and Methods The topography of nutrient foramina was studied in 71 clavicles The mean foraminal index was calculated using Hughes formula The direction of foramen was also observedResults The mean foraminal index was 3631 The foramen was observed in the middle third of the clavicle in 8732 cases and medial third in 1268 cases The foramen was observed in the inferior surface in 493 cases and posterior surface in 507 cases No foramina were observed in the superior surface and in the lateral third of the clavicleConclusion The foramina are mainly observed in the middle third of the clavicle Standard literatures describe that foramen are mainly seen in the inferior surface but in our study we observed foramina in both inferior and posterior surface in high frequency This knowledge of distribution of foramina is of great importance for orthopaedic surgeons in surgeries like internal fixation and bone grafting nbspKeywords Clavicle Foraminal index Periosteal vessels Nutrient foramen Surgical implications
