Distribution of Scaphoid Nutrient Foramina

Vascular Foramina of Scaphoid and its Clinical Implications

The nutrient vascular foramina of scaphoid bone were observed and clinical interpretations were discussed. The 220 dry scaphoid bones of adult age group were studied. The vascular foramina distal to mid of waist were 1 to 2 in 17.72 % specimen and rest of 82.28% bones had more then 2 foramina. There was no scaphoid without vascular foramina distal to mid of waist of scaphoid. But the proximal p...

A Study of Diaphyseal Nutrient Foramina in Human Tibia

Introduction: Nutrient foramen is the external opening of the nutrient canal in a bone. An understanding of the location, number, direction and caliber of diaphyseal nutrient foramina in Tibia is very important clinically, especially in orthopedic surgical procedures. Method: This study was conducted on 312 (161 Right and 151 Left) macerated specimens of adult human Tibia. All the parameters li...
