“…The position of the foramina was observed consistently on anterior (flexor) surfaces as it is true even in case of the present study. 15,16 The results in the present study (right radius:75%, left radius: 75.51%) ( [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][27][28][29][30] As it is shown in the Tables 1, 3 and 6 most of the foramina on radius are located in the middle third of the bone. In the present study the foramen index is 34.86±4.7 cm, with the average length of bones as 23.48±2.8 cm, indicating the location of the foramina in middle third of the bone.…”

Background: Bone formation, growth and its vitality necessitates blood supply. Nutrient artery is the key source of blood supply to the long bone apart from the other important sources like periosteal, metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries. Nutrient foramina allow nutrient artery. Typically, the direction of the nutrient foramina is towards the elbow joint in radius, away from its growing end. Knowledge of foramen index, number, direction and size of the nutrient foramina assists the surgeon to take and exact section of bone in case of bone resection and transplantation techniques. The aim of the present study is to determine the number, position, size direction of the nutrient foramina and the Foramen Index of the human dry radius bones. Methods: In the present study, 100 radius bones of unknown age and sex were taken into consideration from the department of anatomy Index Medical College, Indore (MP), India. Results: Most of the foramen was observed on the anterior surface of the bone. Nutrient foramina was found to be absent in 4 right sided and 3 left sided bones. The foramen index on right side was 34.92±4.97 cm whereas on the left side 34.79±4.43 cm. The nutrient foramen was directed towards the proximal end of radius in all the bones studied. Conclusions: In the present study the average length of the bone and foramina of the size larger are more on the right side when compared to the left side. The foramina are located mostly in the middle third of the bone of the anterior surface. This study may add to the present statistical data available on foramen index number of foramen and their location in the population of Indore region, during recent orthopaedic techniques like bone resection and transplantation.

“…As 19,20,22,23,25,28 The knowledge of position of nutrient foramina is important in case of orthopaedic techniques like fracture repair, bone graft transplantation and resection. This knowledge also serves the surgeon to be careful enough during surgical procedures to prevent postsurgical fracture non-union.…”

BACKGROUND Nutrient foramina are cavities that conduct nutrient arteries and peripheral nerves on the shaft of long bones. Long bones receive most of the interosseous blood supply from nutrient arteries and sometimes through the periosteal vessels. The aim of this study was to determine the common location, direction & number of nutrient foramina of upper limb long bones. MATERIALS & METHODS This is descriptive study of a total 150 human upper limb long bones {50 humeri, 50 radii & 50 ulnae} taken from Department of Anatomy, Guntur Medical College, Guntur and each was studied for location, direction & number of nutrient foramina. RESULTS In humerus, a single nutrient foramen was found in 78% and double in 22% of bones, of them 62% foramina were on antero-medial surface, 25% on medial border, 5% on anterior border, 5% on posterior surface & 3% on lateral border. 87% of nutrient foramina were in middle third of shaft of humerus. All radii had single nutrient foramen, of them 70% were on anterior surface & 30% on interosseous border. 74% of nutrient foramina were in middle third & 26% were in upper third of shaft of radius. 98% of ulnae had single nutrient foramen & 2% had double nutrient foramina, of them 78.4% were on anterior surface, 11.8% on posterior surface, 5.9% on interosseous border & 3.9% on anterior border. 88.2% of nutrient foramina were in middle third & 11.8% in upper third of bone. All nutrient foramina were directed away from the growing end i.e., towards the elbow. CONCLUSION The study of nutrient foramina is of clinical importance in surgical procedures like orthopedic transplant techniques & microvascular bone transfer procedures.

Nutrient foramen (NF) conducts blood vessels which are chief nutritional source to bones. The anatomical knowledge of nutrient foramina plays vital role in certain operative procedures to preserve the circulation. Details of NF in metacarpals and metatarsals is essential in reconstruction surgeries. This study designed to assess the architecture of nutrient foramina over metacarpal and metatarsal shafts. For this, a total 400 metacarpal and 400 metatarsal bones were collected. All bones are examined for details of number, position, location and direction of nutrient foramina on shaft. Foraminal index was calculated by using Hughes formula. Majority bones are having single nutrient foramen (79.7% metacarpals, 79.5% metatarsals), double nutrient foramina was situated in very few metacarpals and metatarsals. Nutrient foramina are situated over medial surface of 1 st & 2 nd metacarpals and 4 th &5 th metatarsal bones, whereas other bones have nutrient foramina over lateral surface of shaft. The anatomical and morphological details of nutrient foramina is beneficial for orthopedic and plastic surgeries during vascularized bone microsurgery and in bone grafts.
