Surgical Importance of Radiographically Aided Morphometry of the Proximal Ulna

SUMMARY: This study was conducted to define the proximal ulnar morphometry with respect to dorsal and intramedullary implant design. Eighty two dry Anatolian ulnae were evaluated by both the traditional and digital morphometric analysis methods. Also the medullary cavities and cortical bone thicknes...

Eighty two dry Anatolian ulnae were evaluated by both the traditional and digital morphometric analysis methods.

The mean value of ulnar length (UL) was 25.06 cm; distance between the most prominent anterior point of the superior surface of the olecranon (MAPO) and the most posterior point of the olecranon (MPPO), distance between the MPPO and maximum anterior angulation (MAA), distance between the MPPO and the maximum varus angulation (MVA) were; 1.67 cm, 5.36 cm and 7.56 cm, respectively. The average antero-posterior diameters at midolecranon plane (MOP), MAA plane (MAAP) and MVA plane (MVAP) were; 1.78 cm, 1.68 cm and 1.41 cm; transverse diameters of same planes were; 1.96 cm, 1.65 cm and 1.51 cm, respectively. The mean olecranon angle (OA), MAA and MVA were: 113.35°, 9.12° and 13.82°; also the mean circumferences at same planes were 6.48 cm, 6.37 cm and 5.16 cm, respectively. The mean antero-posterior medullary diameter at MAAP and mean transverse medullary diameter at MVAP were; 6.83 mm and 7.22 mm, respectively.
