According to these results, the nutrient foramina of the diaphysis of the tibia are always found to be single in the posterior surface of the bone and always located in the upper third or the joining point of the upper and the middle third.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:A knowledge of the location of the nutrient foramina on the long bones is important in free vascularized bone grafts and certain surgical procedures for keeping the circulation intact.In this study, the location and the number of the nutrient foramina on the diaphysis of the tibia were examined.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In the 206 number of the examined bones, 180 bones (87.38 %) had a single foramen, 26 bones (12.62 %) had two foramina and 89.65 % of these foramina were found in the posterior surface of the tibia.

Abstract

A knowledge of the location of the nutrient foramina on the long bones is important in free vascularized bone grafts and certain surgical procedures for keeping the circulation intact.In this study, the location and the number of the nutrient foramina on the diaphysis of the tibia were examined. In the 206 number of the examined bones, 180 bones (87.38 %) had a single foramen, 26 bones (12.62 %) had two foramina and 89.65 % of these foramina were found in the posterior surface of the tibia. The mean length of all tibias was 35.41 cm and the mean foraminal index was 32.46. 75 % of all foramina were observed on the upper third, 24.57 % of these were on the middle third and one foramen was observed on the lower third of the bone, the mean diameter of the foramina was measured as 0.174 cm.The results of this study are similar with the former studies. According to these results, the nutrient foramina of the diaphysis of the tibia are always found to be single in the posterior surface of the bone and always located in the upper third or the joining point of the upper and the middle third.

Özet

Uzun kemiklerdeki foramen nutricium'ların lokalizasyonlarının bilinmesi, serbest vasküler kemik greftleri ve sirkülasyonun korunmasını gerektiren bazı cerrahi girişimler açısından önemlidir.Bu çalışmada tibia diafizinde bulunan major foramen nutricium'ların sayı ve anatomik lokalizasyonları incelenmiştir. İncelediğimiz 206 kemiğin 180'inde (% 87.38) tek, 26'sında ise (% 12.62) çift foramen saptanmış ve bu deliklerin % 89.65'inin facies posterior'da yer aldığı görülmüştür. Ortalama kemik uzunluğu 35.41 cm, ortalama foraminal indeks (FI) 32.46 ve ortalama delik çapı ise 0.174 cm olarak tesbit edilmiştir. Foraminal indeks değerlerine göre deliklerin % 75'i kemiğin proksimal 1/3'ünde, % 24.57'si orta 1/3 ve 1 delik ise alt 1/3'te yer almaktadır.Elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar diğer araştırmacıların bulguları ile paralellik göstermekte olup, tibia diafizindeki foramen nutricium'ların çoğunlukla kemiğin facies posterior'unda ve tek olarak, sıklıkla da kemiğin üst 1/3'ü ile orta 1/3'ünün birleşme yerine yakın olarak lokalize olduğunu göstermektedir.
