To explain surgical findings, we studied the anatomy of the human humeral medullary canal on a series of 28 bones in 16 patients and 9 dried bones. A methodology is described to find angle of medullary canal on CT scans regarding to an epicondylar reference axis. We found a constant tri-dimensional spiral shape of the medullary canal in the distal part of the bone. The relations between this first description and the literature are discussed.
为了解释手术发现,我们对16例患者的28块骨骼以及9块干燥骨骼进行了人类肱骨髓腔解剖研究。本文描述了一种在CT扫描上确定髓腔相对于上髁参考轴角度的方法。我们发现,在肱骨远端,髓腔呈恒定的三维螺旋形状。本文还讨论了这一首次描述与文献之间的关系。
