Study of nutrient foramina of human tibia of Saurashtra region
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Anatomy and Surgery of Head, Neck and Brain - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction On the shaft of tibia surface openings for entry of blood vasculature is known as nutrient foramen which leads to nutrient canal to provide a pathway for blood vessels to reach medullary cavity Topographical information about nutrient foramen is very crucial during various orthopedic surgical proceduresObjectivePresent study is conducted to find out the number of nutrient foramina its location and direction in relation to growing end of bone and to calculate foraminal index of human tibia Material and MethodsIn present study 6130 right and 31 left sided tibia bone were studied Age and sex of the bone were unknown Only fully intact bone without any disease were included Surface location and direction of nutrient foramina were recorded Total length of tibia was measured with osteomatric board Distance of nutrient foramen from proximal end was measured with digital vernier caliper And foraminal index was calculated All data was tabulated and analysed statisticalyResultOut of total 61 tibia 9508 of tibia had one nutrient foramen 328 tibia had two foramen and 164 were devoid of nutrient foramen Almost all 9833 of the nutrient foramina were detected on the posterior surface only 167 were on lateral surface Zone I contained 4833 and Zone II contained 5167 of foramina Not a single bone had foramen in Zone III Direction of all foramina were towards lower end of tibia except one boneConclusionThorough knowledge of morphology of nutrient foramina is necessary for preserving the nutrient arterial blood supply Because it is very crucial in bone grafting fracture healing joint replacement therapy and vascularised bone micro surgeriesKeywordsTibia Foraminal index Nutrient foramen Fracture Morphometry
