“…Similar to the results in the literature, in the present study, the NF in the clavicle was mostly directed toward the acromial end (12). It has been reported that NF in the humerus is mostly directed distally (7,(22)(23)(24)(25). The current study, it was observed that the NF in the humerus was mostly directed distally, while there was also NF directed proximally.…”

“…In previous studies, the most common anatomical location of NF in the humerus was the anteromedial surface, as in our study, while a study we encountered reported the most common anatomical location of NF as the medial border (22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

“…We encountered the NF also in the interosseous border in the current study, differently from the literature (7,27). In the ulna we examined, the most common anatomic location of the NF was the anterior surface, as in previous studies (20,(24)(25)(26). While there are studies indicating the NF in the anterior border and medial surface of the ulna, we did not encounter the NF in the anterior border and medial surface in our study (27)(28)(29).…”

Aim: We aimed to examine the presence, number, anatomic location of the nutrient foramen in the long bones of the upper and lower limbs and calculate the foramen index. Materials and Methods: Our study was conducted on a total of 295 bones, including 25 clavicle, 59 humerus, 49 radius, 32 ulna, 59 femur, 49 tibia, and 22 fibula. The number of the nutrient foramen in each bone, the anatomic location of the nutrient foramen on the bone, and the direction of its opening were determined and recorded. All bones were photographed with a millimeter ruler. The bone length and the distance of the nutrient foramen to the proximal of the bone were measured using the ImageJ program. The foramen index was calculated for each foramen. Results: At least one nutrient foramen was observed in all bones, except for one humerus and three fibula. The highest mean foramen index belonged to the humerus and clavicle, while the lowest mean foramen index belonged to the tibia. The direction of the nutrient foramen is mostly toward the acromial end (87.5%) in the clavicle, toward the distal in the humerus (97.6%), tibia (96.15%) and fibula (75%), and toward the proximal in the radius (96.36%), ulna (100%), and femur (98.97%).Conclusion: There are few studies on the nutrient foramen in which bones of the upper and lower limbs are examined together and comparisons between populations are made. Therefore, we think that our study will enrich the limited literature on this subject and contribute to clinicians.
