Morphology and Morphometry of the Distal Articular Surface of Lunate Bone in a Kenyan Population
Provedor de dados: International Journal of Morphology
Autores: Muthoka,Johnstone M; Kaisha,Wycliff O; Gikenye,Gachambira; Ogengo,Julius A.
The morphology and morphometry of the distal articular surface of the lunate exhibits inter-population variations. They are of clinical importance to hand surgeons due to their influence on the occurrence of proximal pole arthrosis which is a cause of ulnar-side wrist pain. The objective of the study was to determine the morphology and morphometry of the distal articular surface of the lunate bone in an adult Kenyan population. A descriptive cross-sectional study at the Department of Human Anatomy, University of Nairobi. Fifty-six human hands obtained for routine dissection were used. The morphology of the distal articular surface of the lunate was classified as either Type I or Type II depending on the absence or presence of a medial facet for...

Position and Blood Supply of the Carotid Body in a Kenyan Population
Provedor de dados: International Journal of Morphology
Autores: Muthoka,Johnstone M; Hassanali,Jameela; Mandela,Pamella; Ogeng'o,Julius A; Malek,Adel A.
Position and source of blood supply to the human carotid body displays population variations. These data are important during surgical procedures and diagnostic imaging in the neck but are only scarcely reported and altogether missing for the Kenyan population. The aim of this study was to describe the position and blood supply of the carotid body in a Kenyan population. A descriptive cross-sectional study at the Department of Human Anatomy, University of Nairobi, was designed. 136 common carotid arteries and their bifurcations were exposed by gross dissection. The carotid body was identified as a small oval structure embedded in the blood vessel adventitia. Position and source of blood supply were photographed. Data are presented by tables and...
