Abstract :
The major blood supply to long bones occurs through the nutrient artries, which enter through the nutrient foramina. The supply is essential during the early phase of ossification and in procedures such as bone graft, tumor resections, traumas and in transplant technique in orthopedics. The present study analyzed the number of nutrient foramina in the diaphysis of ; 70 humeri ,60 (radii, ulnae, femora, tibiae, fibulae & clavicle). The nutrient foramina is predominant on the anterior aspect of upper limb and on the posterior aspect of the lower limb long bones. The mean of foraminal number was 56.94 % for humeri, 37.76% for radii, 36.98%for ulnae, 46.60% for femora, 34.49% for tibiae, 45.73% for fibulae, 51.14% for clavicle. Present study analyzed data corresponding to the population of western Uttar Pardesh providing ethnic data to be used for comparison and that may help in surgical procedures.
