Shashikant Verma, Arpan Dubey

Abstract :

 The aim of this research is to study the variation in the origin of radial artery and anching pattern in population of bundelkhand region. Material and Methods: This study consists of 50 human upper limbs obtained from adult cadavers, out of them 25 right upper limbs and 25 left upper limb. All cadavers were male. All the cadavers limb were preserved and fixed by formalin in the department of anatomy, NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur M.P. and Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar (M.P) Radial artery identified and traced from its origin to the anatomical snuff box. Results: The incidence of normal and variant origin of radial artery summarizes in table no.1. The radial artery is one of the terminal anch of achial artery in cubital fossa, below level of intercondylar line of humerus. Normal Origin of Radial artery observed in 20 cases on right side and in remaining 5 cases variation in origin was observed in present work. On the left side normal origin observed in 18 cases. The variation in origin was observed in 7 cases Conclusion: The study concluded that radial artery is most commonly originated from achial artery in cubital fossa and least commonly from axillary artery
