Introduction: Morphometric study of Olecranon process and Trochlea of humerus in Adult population
of Telangana region.
Materials And Methods: The study was done on 120 dry Adult Humerus of unknown age and sex collected from the
Department of Anatomy, Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal, Telangana state.
Results: Maximum width of Right and Left Olecranon process of humerus were 30mm and 34 mm respectively while the
minimum width of olecranon process of humerus were 22mm on right and 24mm on left side. Mean width of olecranon process
of humerus were 26 mm on right side, 29 mm on left side .
Maximum length of Right and Left Olecranon process of humerus were 20mm and 20 mm respectively while the minimum
length of olecranon process of humerus were 15mm onright and 16 on left side. Mean length of Olecranon process of humerus
were 17.5 mm on right side, 18 mm on left side .
Maximum width of right and left Trochlear process of humerus were 30mm and 30 mm respectively while the minimum width of
width of right and left trochlear process of humerus were 18mm onright and 22 on left side. Mean width distance of trochlea of
humerus were 24 mm on right side, 26 mm on left side.
Conclusion: The knowledge of Morphometric study of Olecranon process and Trochlea of humerus is important for
anatomists, It is also helpful for orthopaedic surgeons in distal end fracture of humerus and its reconstructive surgery for
various implants.
