Objectives: The hyoid bone occupies a strategic position and participates in vital functions. The aim of this study was to examine the morphometry of the hyoid bone and define its location according to the vertebral level on 3D computed tomography (CT) images. Methods: This study was conducted using 3D–CT images of 216 patients (104 males, 112 females) aged between 10–98 years. The vertebral level of the hyoid bone was determined for each decade. Furthermore, the anterior-posterior length of the hyoid bone, the length and height of the greater horn, the height and width of the body, the distance between the posterior ends of the greater horn, and the distance of the hyoid bone to the vertebral column and the angle between right and left greater horn was measured. Results: The hyoid bone was most commonly located at C3 and C2–C3 vertebral level in females (35.7%) and C3 in males (38.5%). No statistically significant difference was found between right and left sides concerning the length and height of the greater horn. Conclusion: Knowing the radiological anatomy, morphometric properties and vertebral levels of the hyoid bone will contribute to the surgical planning of this region and the hyoid bone. In addition, our study will provide data on the morphometric properties of hyoid bone in forensic and anthropological research.
Incisura scapulae, scapula'nın margo superior'unun processus coracoideus'un tabanıyla birleştiği yerde bulunan çentiktir. Incisura scapulae, lig.transversum scapulae superius ile kapatılarak bir foramene dönüşür. Bu foramenden n.suprascapularis geçer. Çentiğin şeklindeki ve boyutundaki farklılıklar suprascapular sinir sıkışmasına sebep olabilir.Bu çalışmanın amacı incisura scapulae'nın şekil değişikliklerini, derinliğini ve genişliğini incelemek ve sağ-sol taraflar arasında farklılık olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Gereç ve YöntemÇalışmamızda Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Anatomi Anabilim Laboratuvarı'nda bulunan 18 adet scapula incelendi. Incisura scapulae milimetrik cetvel ile fotoğraflandı ve ölçümler Image J programı ile hesaplandı. Veriler SPSS 20 programı ile analiz edildi. Incisura scapulae'nin derinliği ve genişliği ölçüldü. Incisura scapulae'lar şekline ve derinliğine göre 5 gruba ayrıldı. Tip I -derin ve U şeklinde; tip II -sığ ve U şeklinde; tip III -derin ve V şeklinde; tip IV -sığ ve V şeklinde ve tip V -çentiği delik şeklinde olarak gruplandırıldı.
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.
