Morpho-metrical analysis of upper humerus- A study from Central Maharashtra

The humerus is largest bone of the upper limb and also defines human brachium. shoulder joint ball socket formed by articulation hemispherical head shallow glenoid cavity scapula. sizes Humeri & Glenoid can impact decision making during surgery for replacement instability. Study helpful providing data correlation factors which has enormous importance while prosthesis surgery. : A retrospective study was conducted on 61 cadaveric humeri - 31 from left side 30 right side. Length, AP diameter, MLD size calculated using vernier calliper, scale, no elastic thread osteometer. combined length 309.84±17.91 mm. Left sided 308.42±17.859 mm 311.30±17.91 respectively. diameter 39.10±2.791mm 39.54±2.544 42.959±3.264 height 30.92±2.53 morpho-metric dimensions more than that side.Proper measurements are required when surgical procedures to be done. More studies should measuring height.
