          Abstract

          Humerus is the longest and thickest bone of the upper limb. As a long bone, it has two epiphysis and diaphysis. In this study, we aimed to conduct morphometric measurements belonging to human humerus. This study was conducted on 60 humerus (28 right, 32 left) in collections of Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medicine Faculty Anatomy Laboratory. Digital calipers, osteometric board and precision scales for humerus bone measurements were used. Measurements were classified as measurements of diaphysis and proximal and distal epiphysis of humerus. Each bone weight was determined. Also nutrient foramen number and localization was determined. In this study, it was determined that mean right humerus length 30.41±1.73 mm, mean left humerus length 30.04±2.39 mm. It was identified that mean right humerus weight was 115.05±28.06 g, mean left humerus weigh twas 111.63±33.34 g. In 9 humerus (15 %), supratrochlear foramen has been observed. 6 of these were oval and 3 of them were round. Nutrient foramen has not been observed in two humerus (3.3 %). Also, medium and weak correlation was identified between many parameters. We believe that the obtained data from this study may be qualities of reference for sex determination from humerus.

          El húmero es el hueso más largo y grueso del miembro superior. Como un hueso largo, tiene dos epífisis y una diáfisis. En este estudio, se pretende realizar mediciones morfométricas pertenecientes al húmero humano. Este estudio se realizó en 60 húmeros (28 derechos, 32 izquierdos) en colecciones del Laboratorio de Anatomía de la Facultad de Medicina Meram,Necmettin Erbakan University, Se utilizaron calibradores digitales, tableros osteométricos y escalas de precisión para medir el húmero. Las mediciones se clasificaron como medidas de húmero proximal, corporal y distal. Se determinó el peso de cada hueso. También se determinó el número y la localización de los forámenes nutricios. La longitud media del húmero derecho fue de 30,41 ± 1,73 mm y la del húmero izquierdo fue de 30,04 ± 2,39 mm. El peso medio del húmero derecho fue 115,05 ± 28,06 g y el izquierdo 111,63 ± 33,34 g. En 9 húmeros (15 %), se observó un foramen supratroclear, seis de ellos eran ovales y tres redondos.No se observó foramen nutricio en dos húmeros (3,3 %). Además, se identificó una correlación media y débil entre varios parámetros. Creemos que los datos obtenidos de este estudio pueden ser de referencia para la determinación del sexo de un individio a partir del húmero.

            An anthropometric study of the distal humerus.

            The optimal articular shape for distal humeral hemiarthroplasty has not been defined because of a paucity of data quantifying the morphology of the normal distal humerus. This study defines the osseous anatomy and anatomic variability of the distal humerus using 3-dimensional imaging techniques.

              Supratrochlear foramen of the humerus.

              The presence of the supratrochlear foramen was studied in 150 dry adult humeri, of unknown sex from the Department of Anatomy, St John's Medical College, Bangalore: The dimensions of the foramen were measured. In bones where the foramen was absent, opacity or translucency of the septum was observed. A supratrochlear foramen was found in 28% of the total humerii. It was almost equal in number on both the sides (right, 27.9%; left, 27.8%). Most of the foramina were oval in shape, their transverse and vertical diameters being, on average, 6.92 mm and 4.64 mm, respectively. A translucent septum was seen in 66% of the bones, in 51.51% of right and in 48.48% of the left. Only nine bones had opaque septae (6%). The study was done on bones belonging to South Indians and the findings were compared with the data available on other races. The paper discusses the evolutionary aspects of the foramen in addition to its surgical and orthopedic significance.
