TI  - Quantitative and Morphometric Evaluation of the Foramina Nutricia in the Long Bones of the Upper and Lower Extremities in Anatolian Population
AB  - Aim: This study is aimed to examine the nutrient foramina ofthe upper and lower extremities regarding to their numbers andlocalizations.Material and Method: Totally; 576 long bones of upper and lowerextremities were examined. Each of these bones were divided into3 regions equally as proximal, distal and middle parts. The measurementswere done by using a 80*0.38 mm needle.Results: In the comparison of humerus and femur; a single nutrientforamen was found in the middle part of humerus in 78.7% andin the proximal part of femur in 55.2% of the bones. Double nutrientforamina were detected in 70.8% on middle part of humerusand 44.2% on proximal part of femur and 48.3% on middle part offemur. We only observed a single foramen in radius and fibula. Itwas in proximal part of radius with a ratio of 52.7% and in middlepart with a ratio of 47.3%. However in fibula, a single foramen wasfound in the middle part of the bones with a ratio of 79.7%. Asingle nutrient foramen was found in proximal part of ulna in 73.6%and in middle part in 26.4%. The tibia had a single nutrient foramenin its proximal part in 98.3%.Conclusion: Statistical difference of localization of foramen nutriciumin comparative bones was determined when this study wasexamined macroanatomically. These results give new data to theliterature by the view of not only the side of anatomy but also theside of anthropology. However this is very important for the surgeonswho are interested microvascular bone transfer and fracturetreatment.
