ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study
was to contribute to the literature by making measurements on the dimensions of
the dry radii. Methods: This study was carried out on 28 dry and radius
bones. Bones were measured a total of 14 variables at the proximal end, trunk
and distal end. Results: The mean radius length was 228.93 mm on the left
side and 232.00 mm on the right side. Caput radii sagittal diameter: mean 21.5 mm on the
left and 21.10 mm on the right. Caput radii transverse diameter: 20.36 mm on the left
and 21.15 mm on the right. Circumferentia articularis circumferential: mean 665.80 mm on the
left side and 69.24 mm on the right side. Incisura ulnaris width: the average depth of
14.83 mm on the left and 14.32 mm on the right. Incisura ulnaris depth: the mean value was
1.73 mm on the left side and 2.02 mm on the right side. Conclusion: This study provides a detail of the radius morphometric
information about the proximal end, distal end and trunk. We think that our
results are close to the information in the literature and will contribute to
the literature.
