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.
