METHODS: This study was performed on 86 dry clavicles of contemporary adult individuals without age and gender records. Some clavicle parameters and NF parameters were measured and the relationship between them was analyzed. Measurements were performed using a digital caliper.
RESULTS: Most of the clavicles had a single NF. There was a positive correlation between DFant/DFpost (distance between NF and anterior border/distance between NF and posterior border) and vertical thickness of sternal end (VTs), vertical thickness of thinnest point (VTt) and clavicular thinnest point index (CIt) in all cases (p < 0.05). Sagittal thickness of acromial end (STa), vertical thickness of clavicle (VTc), sagittal thickness of clavicle (STc) and sagittal thickness of thinnest point (STt) were associated with NF counts. The most common localization of NFs was type 2. The NFs were mostly located in the inferior position.
CONCLUSIONS: Relationships between the number and morphometric characteristics of NFs and some clavicle parameters were determined. It was suggested that the knowledge of the number and morphometric characteristics of NFs is important for the protection of the nutrient artery in orthopedic surgery applications.
方法:这项研究是对没有年龄和性别记录的当代成年人的86个干燥锁骨进行的。测量了一些锁骨参数和NF参数,并分析了它们之间的关系。使用数字卡尺进行测量。
结果:大多数锁骨具有单个NF。DFant/DFpost(NF与前边界之间的距离/NF与后边界之间的距离)与胸骨端垂直厚度(VT)之间呈正相关,所有病例的最薄点垂直厚度(VTt)和锁骨最薄点指数(CIt)(p<0.05)。肩峰端矢状厚度(STa),锁骨垂直厚度(VTc),锁骨矢状厚度(STc)和最薄点矢状厚度(STt)与NF计数相关。NFs最常见的定位是2型。NFs大多位于劣势。
结论:确定了NFs的数量和形态特征与一些锁骨参数之间的关系。有人建议,了解NFs的数量和形态特征对于在骨科手术中保护营养动脉很重要。
