Abstract

|
An obsevation 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 lager group than that of the left which were medium in size (statistically significant).
3) The graphic drawing of the foramina 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) Simultaneons injuriec to the radial nerve. and to the nutreent 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 lateral aspect on the vertical VI zones, as the antero-medial surface and medial border contained the important arteries.
