Abstract

The blood supply to the long bones is important in healing process. Operative procedures in fracture of the bones may disturb the blood supply. This may lead to prolonged healing process and non union especially in forearm. To prevent the damage to the blood vessels, a study of the nutrient foramen in relation to its position, number, direction and its variations in forearm bones is essential. In the present study 100 ulnae, among them 50 of right side and 50 of left side were chosen. The sex was unknown. The study of nutrient foramina is carried out and discussed.
