Morphometic Examination of Radius

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to contribute to the literature by making measurements on the dimensions of the dry radii. Methods: This study was carried out on 28 dry and radius bones. Bones were measured a total of 14 variables at the proximal end, trunk and distal end. Results: The mean radius length was 228.93 mm on the left side and 232.00 mm on the right side. Caput radii sagittal diameter: mean 21.5 mm on the left and 21.10 mm on the right. Caput radii transverse diameter: 20.36 mm on the left and 21.15 mm on the right. Circumferentia articularis circumferential: mean 665.80 mm on the left side and 69.24 mm on the right side. Incisura ulnaris width: the average depth of 14.83 mm on the left and 14.32 mm on the right. Incisura ulnaris depth: the mean value was 1.73 mm on the left side and 2.02 mm on the right side. Conclusion: This study provides a detail of the radius morphometric information about the proximal end, distal end and trunk. We think that our results are close to the information in the literature and will contribute to the literature.
