Morphometric Structures and Clinical Importance of the Costa Prima
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Aim: This study was undertaken to assess the morphometry and morphology of the costa prima. Material and Methods: In this study, 40 costae prima (25 right side, 15 left side) of Anatolian adults of unknown gender were used. Total outer length of each costa, interior length from sternal edge to caput costae, the length between caput costae and tuberculum costae, the height from caput costae to surface and the angle of the caput costae for tuberculum costae are measured. The measurements are made with a digital compass and the results were recorded as mm. Finally, the presence of tuberculum musculi scaleni anterior is and sulcus venae subclaviae were assessed for each bone. Results: Total outer length was 84,71 ± 6,61 mm; interior length from sternal edge to caput costae was 56,27 ± 8,59 mm; the length between caput costae and tuberculum costae was 28,35 ± 3,41 mm; the height from caput costae to surface was 12,29 ± 9,01 mm and the the angle of the caput costae for tuberculum costae was 19,93 ± 11,27º. Tuberculum musculi scaleni anterioris was present in 28 bones and sulcus venae subclaviae was present in 32 bones. Conclusions: An understanding of the association between costa prima’s anatomic structures and morphometric measurements is clinically important. We believe the results of this study will help accumulate data on morphometric measurements regarding to the costa prima and also help with clinical evaluations.
