1770 phalanges of the hand and 660 phalanges of the foot, of unknown sex, were studied to determine the number, position and direction of the nutrient foramina. It was found that, in general, these bones had one nutrient foramen in the middle third of the shaft. The proximal phalanges of the fingers often showed double foramina. Most of the foramina were situated on the border between the palmar/plantar and dorsal surfaces. The distal phalanges of the toes, and particularly of the great toe, may have a nutrient foramen on the dorsal surface. In the intermediate phalanges of the toes it is not possible to identify the nutrient foramen with certainty. All the foramina were directed away from the growing end.
对1770块手部指骨和660块足部趾骨（性别未知）进行了研究，以确定滋养孔的数量、位置和方向。结果发现，一般来说，这些骨骼在骨干的中三分之一处有一个滋养孔。手指的近节指骨常显示有双孔。大多数孔位于掌侧/跖侧和背侧表面的交界处。脚趾的远节趾骨，尤其是拇趾，可能在背侧有一个滋养孔。在脚趾的中节趾骨中，无法确切识别滋养孔。所有的孔都指向远离生长端的方向。
