| The nutrient foramina of the femur and fibula are located in the middle third of the diaphysis of these bones, on the other hand in the tibia it's in the proximal third of its diaphysis. With the objective of complementing the information delivered by other authors, we investigated the location, the number of diaphysis foramines, the distance or position of the foramines in relation to the length of the bone and the proximal epiphysis and the diameter of the bone at the height of the foramen. For that purpose, we used 140 dry bones (50 femora, 50 tibiae and 40 fibulae) of adult subjects of both sexes from the Anatomy Museum Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile. The nutrient foramen of the femur was located in the linea áspera in... |

| Recent studies have regarded the fibula flap as the benchmark for the reconstruction and treatment of compound wounds and lesions. Owing to its postero-lateral location within the leg, the application of the fibula flap is deemed aesthetically advantageous as the donor scar can be easily hidden. Since the fibula is anatomically characterized by a shaft and two extremities, this study aimed to investigate the nutrient foramen morphology and the relative fibular osteometry. Osteometric and morphological evaluation of 104 dry human fibulae, representing male and female individuals of the Black and Caucasian population groups that are native to South Africa, were conducted (Age range: 15 81 years old). The presence of single, double and six nutrient foramina... |
