Structural Evaluation of Koorpara marma (elbow region) in Accidental Trauma

Abstract

Sound knowledge of Marma sthana (vulnerable points) behind structural component is essential. According to Parinam (Prognosis) and Rachana (Anatomical predominance), Koorpara Marma (vulnerable point at elbow region) is Vaikalyakar (injury to this type of vulnerable point causes disability) and Sandhi Marma (vulnerable point at bony joints), respectively. No injury to Marma is free from adverse effects. It may cause disability or even death. If we desire to apply concept of Marma in Shalya tantra, it is essential to confirm the exact form of structure and importance of Marma Sharir with help of Ayurvedic fundamentals and with its comparison to modern science on the basis of clinical study. Nowadays, road traffic accidents are more common . Traumatic deformities commonly occur at Elbow region which is exposed easily to trauma, causing restricted movements of forearm along with, hematoma, ligament tear and bony deformity. Hence, a conceptual and subclinical study was carried out to evaluate Koorpara Marma Viddhata in relation to accidental trauma from structural aspect with help of case record form and radiological investigations in 30 diagnosed patients of Koorpara Sandhi Marma Vikalata. Results were tabulated in form of structural deformities seen.
