Abstract
Humerus is skeleton of arm. The proximal and medial portions of the upper end of the bone make up the rounded head of the humerus. It creates an articulation with the scapula’s glenoid cavity. Two tubercle‐adorned eminences and a constricted neck connect the head to the shaft. Less than half of a spheroid is formed by the humerus head. Hyaline cartilages cover its smooth, centrally thicker articular surface. When the arm is at rest by the side, it points upward, medially and posteriorly to articulate with the scapular glenoid cavity. Humeral proximal fractures are frequent injuries. They appear inside humeral segments and beside the proximal humerus’s epiphyseal lines. The goal of the current study is to analyse humerus segments morphometrically. For the current investigation, 100 humerus were used, each was meticulously inspected, with damaged ones being excluded. For the study, 100 humerus were chosen, of which 79 were male and 21 were female. For the purpose of humeral segment morphometric analysis, each was examined. Every parameter was noted and represented in a table. The parameters in the current study, including its maximum length, total length, proximal and distal epiphysis widths the middle’s maximum diameter, The middle’s minimum diameter, least shaft girth, Girth at the shaft’s centre, Maximum head diameter measured in both transverse and vertical directions circumference of the head are studied. Studies on the breadth of the trochlea the breadth of the capitulum and the depth of the trochlea revealed statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between males and females. The current study comes to the conclusion that there are few studies on the shoulder bone morphological characteristics in the Indian population and that different racial and regional measures of the humeral upper end are needed for surgical humerus correction. In underdeveloped nations the adoption of custom‐made acrylic prosthesis for reconstruction of proximal humeral defects provides a cost‐effective and efficient option. Understanding humeral morphometry may be useful in the fields of orthopaedics, forensic medicine and surgery.
