Determination of Angle of Torsion in Metacarpal Bones

Shashikant Verma, Siddharth Shankar Roy

Abstract :

 This research was done by Dr Shashikant Verma in Department of Anatomy, N.S.C.B. Medical College, Jabalpur M.P., to determine the angle of torsion in metacarpal bones using specially designed instrument by him. Instrument named as “PROTRACTO–TORSIOMETER”. Using this instrument he established the presence of torsion determines the degree of torsion in metacarpal bones and studied the racial factors if any. After successful determination of angle of torsion he came to the conclusion that there is significant difference in degree of torsion in metacarpal bones of right and left side. The angle so obtained were much more lower than the work done previously by I.B. Singh in year 1976 and the instrument designed was also comparatively more simpler and cheaper than the instrument described by I.B. Singh in his work.
