Morphology and Morphometry of Bicipital Tuberosity – An Aid for Biceps Tendon Repair
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction: Distal biceps tendon rupture is a rare injury that usually occurs in middle-aged men after a forced eccentric contraction of the dominant arm.Understanding the anatomy bicipital tuberosity aids in proper orientation and trough placement during distal biceps tendon repair. Study aims and objectives were to estimate width, length, circumference of bicipital tuberosity and to determine morphological variants of bicipital tuberosity.2)To compare these parameters between right and left side. Material and methods: Above parameters were measured on 142 dry radii from Department of Anatomy, St. John’s Medical college Bangalore. Morphological variants were categorized into single ridge,bifid ridge and smooth ridge tuberosity. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS. Difference in sides was measured using independent sample T test (p value < 0.05 considered significant). Results: Mean values of width, length, circumference of bicipital tuberosity were 11.52mm, 25.11mm and 4.82 cm respectively. Single ridge was most common type of morphological variant. There was side significant difference in values of circumference of radial tuberosity. Conclusion: Mean values of measurements of bicipital tuberosity were comparable with previous studies. Side difference should be considered while implanting prosthesisas well as tendon repair on affected side.
