Abstract

Aim: This study is aimed to examine the nutrient foramina of the upper and lower extremities regarding to their numbers and localizations. Material and Method: Totally; 576 long bones of upper and lower extremities were examined. Each of these bones were divided into 3 regions equally as proximal, distal and middle parts. The measurements were done by using a 80*0.38 mm needle. 
Results: In the comparison of humerus and femur; a single nutrient foramen was found in the middle part of humerus in 78.7% and in the proximal part of femur in 55.2% of the bones. Double nutrient foramina were detected in 70.8% on middle part of humerus and 44.2% on proximal part of femur and 48.3% on middle part of femur. We only observed a single foramen in radius and fibula. It was in proximal part of radius with a ratio of 52.7% and in middle part with a ratio of 47.3%. However in fibula, a single foramen was found in the middle part of the bones with a ratio of 79.7%. A single 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 foramen in its proximal part in 98.3%. 
Conclusion: Statistical difference of localization of foramen nutricium in comparative bones was determined when this study was examined macroanatomically. These results give new data to the literature by the view of not only the side of anatomy but also the side of anthropology. However this is very important for the surgeons who are interested microvascular bone transfer and fracture treatment.

Anadolu Toplumunda Üst ile Alt Ektremite Uzun Kemiklerindeki Foramen Nutricium’ların Kantitatif ve Morfometrik Olarak Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada üst ve alt ekstremitelerde bulunan foramen nutricium’ların sayı ve lokalizasyonu açısından incelenmesi amaçlandı. Materyal ve Metot: Toplam 576 üst ve alt ekstremitede bulunan uzun kemik incelendi. Bu kemiklerden her biri, proksimal, distal ve orta olmak üzere 3 eşit parçaya ayrıldı. Foramen nutricium’ların ölçümleri için 80 x 0,38 mm ölçülerinde iğne kullanılarak yapıldı. 
Bulgular: Humerus ve femur karşılaştırıldığında; humerus’ların orta kısmında %78,7’lik bir oranda, femur’ların ise proksimal kısmında %55,2’lik bir oranda tek bir foramen nutricium tespit edildi. Çift nutrient foramenler incelendiğinde; humerus’un orta kısmında %70,8, femur proksimalinde %44,2, femur orta kısmında %48,3 oranında bulundu. Sadece radius ve fibula’da tek bir nutrient foramen’e rastlandı. Radius’un proksimal kısmında %52,7 oranında, orta kısımda %47,3 oranında foramen nutricium’a rastlandı. Fibula’nın %79,7’sinde orta kısmında tek bir foramen nutricium, ulna’nın proksimalinde %73,6, orta bölümününde %26,4’ünde tek bir foramen nutricium bulundu. Tibia’nın proksimalinde %98,3 oranında tek bir nutrient foramene sahipti. 
Sonuç: Makro anatomik olarak incelendiğinde; karşılaştırılan kemiklerde foramen nutricium lokalizasyonlarında istatiksel olarak fark tespit edildi. Bu sonuçlar anatomik ve antropolojik açıdan literatüre yeni bilgiler katmaktadır. Bununla beraber mikrovasküler kemik transferi ve kırık tedavileri ile ilgilenen cerrahlar açısından önem taşımaktadır.
