Dr. Sahil Mehta, Dr. Mukesh Kumar Sharma

Abstract :

Acharya Sushruta in Sushruta Samhita widely discusses the anatomy and provides important anatomical conceptual information. One such concept described by Acharya Sushruta is Marma. Marma‘s are explained as the vital points in the body. Marma means the confluence of Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi and Sandhi. Injury to these vital points may lead to death, disability and disease. There are a total of 107 Marma in the human body. Acharya Sushruta classified marma into five types i.e. Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi and Sandhi Marma. Kurpara Marma is one among the twenty Sandhi Marma mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. It is a vaikalyakara marma and located at the junction of bahu and prabahu i.e. elbow joint. So cadaveric dissection of elbow joint in relation to kurpara marma can be carried out in order to fix the exact location of kurpara marma and to find out its components. This article describes anatomical location and contents of Kurpara Marma and applied anatomy related to it with the help of cadaveric dissection
