Diaphyseal Nutrient Foramina in the Femur, Tibia and Fibula Bones
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...
