Variability of length and Osteometrical study of human clavicle and its applied importance
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract: To determine the bilateral variability in length of clavicle bones, its relationship with location of nutrient foramen and clavicular Osteometry and its applied importance. Length of clavicle differs with gender, population or race. The length has correlation with its Osteometry. It is essential for clavicular surgeries, designing or selecting the clavicular implants, sex determination in forensic science, anthropology and anatomy. This study was done on 120 dry clavicles (n=120) to determine the bilateral variability in length, correlation between location of nutrient foramen and length and to get data set of clavicular Osteometry of Indian population. ANOVA, correlation-regression analysis and descriptive statistics were done on the collected data. Mean length of clavicles in groups on right side, left side and of both sided was 138.99±5.006mm, 142.618±4.48mm and 140.685±4.88mm respectively. Significant difference was found between right and left side groups. Significant and Strong positive correlation was observed [r=0.9445 on right side and r=0.9654 on left side] between location of nutrient foramen and length. Foramina index was 65.92 [right] and 66.34 [left]. Mid shaft circumference was 57.58mm [right] and 59.93 mm [left]. Distance of Conoid tubercle from acromial end was 41.23mm [right] and 42.91mm [left]; and that of mid trapezoid line was 19.27mm [right] and 21.22mm [left] in the present study. Conclusions- Bilaterally Significant variability is present in the clavicle bones. Left side clavicles were longer than that of right side. Strong positive correlation is present between location of nutrient foramen and length of clavicle in the present study. Keywords: Clavicle, applied, circumference, osteometric, variability.
