Abstract

|
|
An observation of the total 70 humerus selected at random from skeletons of Korean race were
carried out to study the size, number and the location of nutrient foramina in the mid-shaft.
1) The location of the nutrient foramina of the mid-shaft was concentrated in the VI zones on the
vertical section and antero-medial surface and medial border on horizontal section.
2) The nutrient foramina of the right humerus consisted mainly of larger group than that of the
left which were medium in size (statistically significant.)
3) The graphic drawing of the foramin on the vertical and horizontal section revealed a "V figure"
in the V,. VI zones and. antero-medial surface, medial border and posterior surface.
4) Simultaneous injuries to the radial nerve and to the nutrient Vascular supply of the humeral
shaft´ would seem unlikely due to the separate course & distribution of those structures.
5) It seems that the injury of the nutrient artery during surgery in this region may be avoided with.
the approach of the antero lateral aspect on the vertical VI zones, as the antero-medial surface
and medial border contained the important arteries.
