A Morphometric Study on the Nutrient Foramen of Metatarsal Bones in the Jharkhand Population
نویسنده
چکیده
A total of 142 metatarsal bones of unknown age and sex were examined for the length of the bone and number & position of the nutrient foramen. Study also included the direction of nutrient foramina and it’s distances from both the ends . It was observed that almost all the Metatarsals had one nutrient foramen in the middle third of their shaft In 5 th Metatarsals majority of foramina were situated on the medial surface whereas in other metatarsals the foramen were mostly situated on the lateral surface. Invariably all foramina were directed away from the growing ends of the bone

Investigating the supratrochlear foramen and septum in adult humerus bones: brief report
Background: The supratrochlear foramen (STF) is an important and relatively common anatomic variation in the lower end of the humerus in humans. In recent years it has become clear that STF should be emphasized because anatomical knowledge of STF is useful for anatomists, anthropologists, orthopedic surgeons, and radiologists. The anatomical structure of the humerus may play an important role i...
متن کاملMorphometric Analysis of Accessory Sutural Bones Association With Parietal Emissary Foramina
Background: The sutural bones and fontanelle of the skull display unique morphological characters. Sutural bones are also called supernumerary bones or ossicles or Wormian bones (WB). These are irregular and develop from the independent ossification centers present along the cranial sutures. They appear on periosteal and endosteal surfaces of the skull with variations in size, number, shape, an...
