Abstract

Materials and methods

Thirty-eight humerus bones belonging to the museum of the Department of Anatomy, Rohilkhand Medical College & Hospital, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India, were studied to observe the incidence of supratrochlear foramen anomaly in the Indian population sample.

Results

The supratrochlear foramen anomaly was observed in 7 out of 38 humeri studied, i.e., 18.4%. Conclusion: The findings are of considerable clinical, racial, and regional significance, and are discussed.
