Background and Aims: The attachment of the ligament on the inferior surface of medial two third of clavicle produce various patterns like tubercles, grooves etc. called as the rhomboid impression. This impression although a normal morphological variant may be misdiagnosed as pathological lesion like necrosis, tumour in radiological images besides this, the study of rhomboid impression is very scanty in North Indian population. So a curious desire has developed to conduct this study. Material and methods: The present cross-sectional descriptive study was done on dried specimens of adult human clavicles (60) obtained from the department of Government medical college Jammu. This study was done over a period of one year. The morphology of the clavicles was studied, and various types of rhomboid impression were observed. Results: The various patterns of rhomboid impressions found in our study were flat and rough, flat and smooth, depressed and rough, depressed and smooth, elevated and rough and elevated and smooth. Conclusions: The results of present study concluded that the impression on the inferior surface of medial two third of clavicle i.e. Rhomboid impression was present in all clavicle bones. The predominant type of rhomboid impression on both sides was type1 (flat and rough). Keywords: Clavicle, costoclavicular ligament, rhomboid impression
Background& Aims: The Clavicle also known as Collar bone is the only long bone of the human skeleton which is placed horizontally. The vascularized bone like clavicle helps principally in bone grafting and joint allograft. The morphometrical and topographical knowledge of nutrient foramina is very important in surgical and orthopaedical procedures. The aim of this study is to determine the number, position, location and direction of nutrient foramen in human clavicle bones. Material and methods: The present study was conducted on 60 human dry adult clavicle bones of unknown age and sex, which were obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Govt Medical college, Jammu. Results: The nutrient foramen was present in all 60 (100%) clavicle bones. One nutrient foramen was present in 63.3%, two in 28.3% and three in 8.3% of clavicles. Total 87 nutrient foramina were observed in our study. The nutrient foramina were predominantly located in the middle 1/3rd of the clavicle bones. In addition, the predominant position of nutrient foramen was on inferior surface of clavicle. The direction of nutrient foramina in all clavicle bones was towards the acromial end in present study. Conclusion: The knowledge of nutrient foramina is very important in surgical and orthopaedical procedures like bone grafting and more recently in microsurgical vascularised bone transplantation. Keywords: Morphometric and topographic study, nutrient foramen, human clavicle
Introduction: Radiology is taught less. Knowledge in Radiology and acquiring basic Radiological skills of interpretation are important in development of a medical graduate. This would add to the overall clinical acumen of a basic medical graduate and improve his interest in basic subjects study. Methodology: The Study was conducted on students of SKIMS Medical College in the Department of Anatomy. This was done as a sequential event. Study Population was the First MBBS Students of the same Medical College. Objective: To Check the Response of Medical Undergraduates to Combined Integrative Teaching Methodology. Results: The integration of Radiology with Anatomy was appreciated by a majority (77 %) of students. It was to the liking of most students (73%).It was found to generate interest in majority of the students (73%).Most students found it interesting to be taught this way (74%). Significant and statistically well-judged results were obtained. Conclusion: Combining Radiology with Anatomy and interpreting radiographic procedures should be started in the studies of First MBBS and a more clinically oriented teaching strategy should be placed. The concept needs to be introduced at an early stage in medical curriculum. This concept has potential benefits for the students.
