MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE HUMAN RADIAL BONE HEAD - THE BASIS OF AN INDIVIDUAL APPROACH OF ITS PROSTHETICS

The morphometric parameters of the head radial bone are relevant for manufacture its prostheses, often in literature only average sizes given without taking into account individual characteristics their ratios. With insufficiently accurate selection used prosthesis radius, complications arise. To prevent development complications, size implant must exactly match anatomical shape and proximal epiphysis radius articular surfaces ulna humerus. purpose study is to systematize data presented scientific on shape, quantitative qualitative human possible use prostheses radius. materials methods consisted searching articles various databases, using following keywords Russian English: elbow joint, head, neck, prosthetics. As a result analysis literature, it was found that joint few them generally accepted indicators both anthropometric clinical studies. showed when characterizing studies three parameters: maximum minimum diameters depth fossa. However, more description our opinion, necessary take length tuberosity width sagittal diameter area tuberosity, distance between fossa, frontal circumference heads, two mutually perpendicular planes, neck circumference, height four points.
