Abstract
Morphometric analysis of bones gives essential information for reconstructive surgeries and prosthetics. It is also useful in forensic medicine to identify and estimate age, sex and height from skeletal remains. We have measured and analyzed the following parameters in 100 distal humerii: the maximal length of the humerus, transverse distance between medial epicondyle and lateral epicondyle, horizontal diameter of trochlea, antero-posterior diameter of trochlea, and horizontal distance from medial epicondyle to capitulum. Distal humeral fractures are often challenging and difficult to treat which requires knowledge of distal humeral anatomy. Data from this study and the comparisons made will help in this.
