AImThis study aims to describe its prevalence and morphometry in relation to its shape and size and distance from the epicondyles.
mATERIALS AND mETHODSA prospective study of 244 unpaired humerii, 130 left sided and 114 right sided of unknown age and sex from the bone collection of the Department of Anatomy, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi was conducted over a period of 6 months, between May and November, 2015. The presence of STF and its prevalence were studied. These results were compared to other population studies. Shapes were visualized and classified.In the oval STF, transverse and vertical diameters were measured. The mean and standard deviation were calculated and compared with other recent studies. In the round STF, diameter was noted. In the triangular STF, the maximum vertical and transverse lengths were considered. In the reniform STF, vertical length at the hilar point and maximum transverse length was measured. The Supratrochlear Foramen (STF) is a variably shaped perforation present in the bony septum that separates the olecranon and coronoid fossae at the distal end of the humerus, between the two epicondyles. Its incidence varies widely from 0.3% to 58% in different races.Aim: This study aims to describe its prevalence and morphometry in relation to its shape and size and distance from the epicondyles.
Vascular anomalies are a serendipitous finding during surgeries and diagnostic angiography. Such variations are frequently encountered in the abdominal region. These anomalies are usually asymptomatic but the presence of hepatic arterial variations may lead to injuries of the liver during surgery. The present study was conducted on 35 adult embalmed cadavers, 31 males, 4 females from
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
