“…Mean vertical diameter in our research was 3.33 ± 1.93 mm, which is smaller than pooled results (4.09 ± 0.86 mm on the right, 4.43 ± 0.83 mm on the left side) and majority of the reported data (4.86 ± 1.32 mm; 4.21 ± 1.29 mm; 3.81 ± 0.97 mm) [7,19,20], only to be compared to the right male humeri (3.27 ± 1.46 mm) in Portuguese population [13], left side bones in Indian sample (3.37 ± 1.25 mm) [6] and right apertures in Nigerian group (3.33 ± 1.04 mm) [18].…”

“…Majority of the OAH found were oval, then round, and one triangular and irregular each. These findings and proportions strengthen earlier reports [2,15,19,20], although some unusual shapes were also reported, such as sieve-like, rectangular or reniform [6,18]. The female samples are usually shown as being more predilected for the OAH presence [1, 2, 5, 6, 13], and even slightly higher frequency in males is a rare finding [4].…”

“…Smaller apertures in latter study are believed to be due to the heterogenity of Brazilian population as a consequence of mixing native people with the colonizing and immigrating nations [1]. In our study, mean TD was 5.25 ± 3.62 mm, which is similar to another Turkish study (5.23 ± 3.74 mm in right humeri, 4.80 ± 2.65 mm in left humeri) [20], and in a range with the pooled results on 1086 bones (5.06 ± 1.08 mm, 5.45 ± 1.31 mm, for the right and left sides, respectively), with no significant difference shown between the right and left sides [2]. The only literature data from our country are from excavated remains dated from 4 th -6 th century where the transverse diameter was 18 mm on the right side, and 11 mm on the left side [10], which partially corresponds to our maximum value found in the left humerus (11.96 mm), as well as to the only finding within the recent bone material (10.4 mm), presented in the tabular literature data comparison [7].…”

Introduction/Objective. Olecranon aperture is a variable opening in the septum between the olecranon and coronoid fossae. Its frequency varies largely in different populations and knowledge of its presence may have clinical implications. The objective of our study was to determine its prevalence in a sample of Serbian population and to investigate its morphology and morphometrical features, as well as its relation to the distal end of humerus. Methods. A material used were 70 human dry humeri from the bone collection of the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Nis. We analyzed the presence, shape, transverse and vertical diameter of the aperture, its distance to the tips of the epicondyles from medial (MB) and lateral border (LB), as well as the distance between epicondyles (EW) and translucency of the septum in the bones with no aperture. Vernier caliper was used for measurements of the diameters and distances. Results. Eight olecranon aperture were observed in seven bones (10%), seven on the left and one on the right side. Half of them were oval-shaped, while round, triangular, and irregular shape were found. Translucent septum in humeri with no aperture was present in 67.1% of the sample. There were no significant differences between MB and LB, neither between EW in bones with aperture and with septum. Conclusion. Our study presented the rare data about the frequency of olecranon aperture in Serbian population, suggesting that robusticity of the humerus is not related to the presence of the olecranon aperture.

Introduction: Anthropometric measurement of dry bones are helpful to estimate the stature. It is useful for differentiating unidentified bodies, skeletal remains, surgical procedures and are helpful for anthropologists, anatomists, forensic and surgery. Objective: The objective of this study was to find the morphometric measurements of dry Humerus bone available at Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital of Eastern Nepal. Methodology: A cross- sectional study was conducted from 28th June- 28th July 2019 in the department of Anatomy of Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital by taking 59 dry humerus bone. Various parameters such as maximum length, circumference of surgical neck, epicondylar breadth together with position and number of nutrient foramina were measured. Data was collected using osteometric board, vernier caliper and tape. The number, direction and location of nutrient foramina were observed macroscopically by using a fine wire. Ethical clearance was taken from Institutional Review Committee of Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital. Results: Among 59 dry humerus bone, majority (32) were left humerus. No statistical significant difference was found in morphometric measurements between right and left side of dry Humerus bone. The single nutrient foramen was present in 85.18% and 81.25% of right and left humeri respectively. Double nutrient foramina in 14.81% of right humeri and 15.62% of left humeri. Triple nutrient foramina was only seen in left humeri (3.12%). Conclusion: Single nutrient foramen is most common in both sides of humeri. No statistical significant difference was found between right and left humeri in the different parameters such as maximum humeral length (MHL), vertical diameter of superior articular surface (VDSAS), circumference of surgical neck (CSN), circumferences of middle shaft (CMS), epicondylar breath (EB), medial epicondyle to capitulum (ME - C), transverse diameter inferior articular surface (TDIAS), maximum transverse diameter of trochlea (MTDT), anteroposterior diameter of the trochlea (APDT) and position of nutrient foramina (PNF).

“…It is the third most common type of fracture in adults and is 2-3 times more would-be common in females than males. One reason is the decrease in bone density in females with advancing age (6)(7)(8). Axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex artery are adjacent to the medial part of the surgical neck and the surgical neck fractures may cause damage to these important structures (9).…”

fractures constitute approximately 5% of all fractures (2). Fractures of the proximal humerus account over 75% of all humeral fractures (3). In the last 5 years, the incidence of these fractures has increased by 15% (2). Surgical neck is a very frequently fractured area of the proximal humerus as the humerus begins to taper down at this point and is structurally weaker ABSTRACT Purpose: Surgical neck fractures have been a subject to vast numbers of researches, its structural dispositions depending on the variants of sex and directional morphometry requires further investigation. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate sex and side differences by using morphometric measurements of humerus and surgical neck. Methods:In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, measurements were performed on dry humerus specimens from 60 male and 60 female origins. The circumference of surgical neck (SNC) and humerus length (HL) were measured in centimeter. After the completion of these measurements the area (SNA) of surgical neck was calculated and the data obtained was utilized to create two separate indexes. Results:The circumference of surgical neck differed significantly between the sexes (p=0.001), but not between the right-left sides (p=0.054). Although there was a significant difference between male and female HL on the right side (p=0.001), there was no significant difference on the left side (p=0.051). The highest mean value of the SNC in females (7.13 cm) was lower than the minimum value obtained in males (7.20 cm). The lowest mean value of the SNA in males (4.92 cm2) was higher than the maximum value obtained in females (4.84 cm2). There was a significant difference between sexes for both indexes (p<0.05). Conclusion:The morphometric data of this area may be utilized for forensic investigations, it may provide insight for the fracture treatments and solving clinical problems. We are opined that since the measurements of surgical neck varies in male and female samples, it may be an essentially important structure in determining sex of a given skeleton.
