Morphometric Study of Nutrient Foramen of Tibia in Population of Bihar
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Nutrient foramen of tibia is located in the proximal third of shaft. In most of the cases nutrient foramen located away from the growing end. During growing period 80% of blood supply of bone occurs through nutrient artery. Through knowledge about the nutrient foramen and blood supply of long bone is one of the important features for success of new technique in bone transplantation and resection in orthopaedics. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted on 60 dry tibia (35 right and 25 left sided) of unknown sex from department of Anatomy and department of Forensic Medicine of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, Bihar and also from Darbhanga Medical College, Laheriasarai, Bihar, India. Studied carefully for the number, position, distance of nutrient foramen from upper and lower end and the foraminal index of tibia. Results: In this study single nutrient foramen was found in 95% of Tibia and double nutrient foramen on in 5%. All the tibia either right or left showed nutrient foramen on the upper one third. All the bones showed the nutrient foramen on the posterior surface. Among the right tibia nutrient foramen were found lateral to the vertical line in 92.29% and medial to vertical line in 5.71%. Foraminal index on the right tibia was 32.48 and on the left side was 32.36. Conclusion: It is important to know clinically about the number, direction and position of nutrient foramen during vascularisd bone grafting to preserve the blood supply of graft.
