Abstract :
Introduction: Nutrient foramen is an opening in the shaft of bone which gives passage to the blood vessels, which provide main nutrition to the shaft of long bone. The knowledge of nutrient foramen is important in surgical procedures like bone grafting, microsurgical vascularised bone transplantation, open reduction of fracture etc. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 100 (50 right and 50 left) dry human fibula bones collected from the Department of Anatomy, Osmania and Kakatiya Medical Colleges, Telangana Region. These bones were separated into right and left side bones. Numbers were given to all bones. The nutrient foramina location, distribution, direction and number/s were identified macroscopically by using hand lens and result were analysed. Results: In our study, we found 12% of nutrient foramina were directed towards the growing end. In this study we found 89% of fibulae have single nutrient foramina, We also found that 2% of total fibulae were having no foramen, 9% were having double foramina. Most of the foramina are located in middle 1/3rd of the shaft (84%),followed by 10% on upper 1/3rd and 4% on lower 1/3rd. Most of the fibula having nutrient foramina (88%) on posterior surface, followed by (6%) on the interosseous border, 2% on anterior surface, 2% of foramina present on lateral surface of shaft of fibulae. Out of 90% Nutrient Foramina present on posterior surface ,most of the foramina present lateral to the crest (48%), followed by (30%) on the crest, and (12%) medial to the crest. Conclusion: This study has provided additional information on the morphology and topography of nutrient foramen in fibulae. This knowledge of nutrient foramen is useful in certain surgical procedures to preserve the circulation.
