Abstract
The present study has been carried out to determine the number of the nutrient foramina in adult human forearm bones.
The nutrient foramina are cavities that conduct the nutrient arteries and the peripheral nerves. The nutrient artery provides
the main source of blood supply to the long bones. The present study was done on 114 adult humen forearm bones
comprising 57 radii and 57 ulnae to observe number of nutrient foramina and our result shows out of 114 forearm bones
105 bones (92.10%) had single nutrient foramina and 8 bones had double nutrient foramina and 1 bone had no nutrient
foramina. We can conclude from the result both Forearm bones possess a nutrient foramina which enlightening to the
resection in orthopedics and also for the bone grafting.
