Anatomical and Morphological Study of Nutrient Foramen in Leg Bones

Abstract: Introduction: Knowledge of position of nutrient foramina of long bones can be useful in certain surgical procedures. Bone ossification, growth and healing depend on its vascularity. Nutrient artery is the main source of blood supply of bone along with periosteal arteries. The topographical knowledge of these foramina is useful in certain operative procedures, in orthopedics as well as in plastic and reconstructive surgeries. AIM: The present study aims to determine the number and position of nutrient foramen o… Show more
