Morphometric & Morphological Study of Bicipital Groove in North Indian Population
نویسنده
چکیده
The bicipital groove is an important landmark for humeral head placement in fractures of the proximal humerus. It contains the long head of the biceps brachii muscle, its synovial sheath and an ascending branch of the anterior circumflex humeral artery. The BG & LBT are intimately related. The shape of the BG has a great impact on the tendency for the LBT to be dislocated or subluxated. A shallow & wide BG promote subluxation/ dislocation of the LBT while a deep, narrow BG can cause LBT irritation and tenosynovitis. Osseous spurs in the BG can cause LBT fraying, and the presence of the supratubercular ridge of Meyer is suspected to promote dislocation. Despite it being a subject of clinical interest, there is paucity of data available on this landmark which led us to conduct this study on it.

Review of Bicipital Groove Morphology and Its Analysis in North Indian Population
The variant morphometry of bicipital groove is reported to be associated with pathologies of biceps tendon and is useful in surgical procedures in this region. The pathologies of biceps tendon are frequent causes of shoulder pain. Therefore, under the condition of paucity of data pertaining to north Indians, not only morphometric analysis of bicipital groove and a new definition of narrow/shall...

BACKGROUND Since morphometric data on the upper end of the humerus from Indian anatomical samples are scarce, this study was undertaken with reference to orthopedic surgery. The aim was to determine the length, width and depth of the bicipital groove and to find the incidence of a supratubercular ridge of Meyer in an Indian population. METHODS The study included 104 unpaired dry humeri (48 ri...

A study was performed to analyse the morphometry and morphological variants of adult scaphoid bone in Sikkimese population of North Eastern India. The study included 100 dry human scaphoid bones. The bones which had previous signs of fracture were excluded. The morphometric parameters were measured with vernier caliper of 0.02 mm accuracy; the circumferences were measured by placing a thread ar...

متن کاملA morphological and morphometric study of proximal and distal ends of dry radii with its clinical implications.
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the size and shape of radial head is essential for construction of radial head prosthesis. Further, the measurements of bicipital tuberosity and its angular relationship to radial head are significant in surgical techniques, like in the reconstruction of biceps tendon. Even the morphometry of the distal radius is significant in numerous clinical orthopedic situations suc...
