Morphometric Analysis of Supratrochlear Foramen of Humerus in South Indian Population
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Olecranon and coronoid fossae of lower end of humerus separated by thin plate of bony septum (0.5 to 1 mm thickness). Sometimes the bony septum may shows perforated clear foramen is referred as Supratrochlear foramen (STF). STF is always associated with narrow medullary canal, in that case it is not easy to perform intramedullary fixation of the humerus in traumatic injuries and pathologic fractures is very difficult. Present study conducted on 160 humerus (82 right side and 78 left side), bones were collected from department of anatomy, KFMS&R, coimbatore, Tamilnadu. Results: Oval shaped foramens were more common, the mean length and standard deviation of vertical and transverse diameter are analysed. This study focused on morphometric analysis of STF. The anatomical knowledge of STF is beneficial for orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and anthropologists in day to day clinical practice. Keywords: Supratrochlear foramen, Humerus, Diameter, south Indians
