Racial differences exist in the dimensions of structures and the commercially available prostheses are designed based on the Caucasians. In this context, the goal of the present investigation was to determine the gender wise measurements of patella bone in South Indians. The present study included axial magnetic resonance images of the knee joint from 140 South Indian adults (70 males, 70 females; aged between 20-70 years).

There were 58 adult human skulls in the present study which were available at the anatomy department of our institution. The study included 116 parietal bones which have been observed macroscopically for the number, prevalence and topography of the emissary foramen.

The objectives of the present study were to determine the prevalence of paracondylar emissary foramina in the adult skull bases and to study the morphology of condylar canals and hypoglossal canals.
Material And Methods: The present study included 48 adult human skulls that were obtained from the gross anatomy laboratory of our institution.
Article Synopsis
- This study focused on examining the prevalence, number, and morphology of mastoidal emissary veins in adult human skulls to aid neurosurgical practices.* -
- Out of 96 temporal bones observed, 91.7% had mastoidal emissary foramina, with most cases showing either a single or double foramen.* -
- Identifying these veins is crucial in otologic surgery to prevent excessive bleeding and in neurosurgery due to their connection to venous sinuses.*
A morphometric study of foramen ovale.
Turk Neurosurg
December 2011
Aim: To note the morphological variations and morphometric details of foramina ovale in dry adult skulls of Indian origin.
Material And Methods: 82 dry adult human skulls of unknown sex and of Indian origin were obtained and variations in appearance and number of foramen ovale were noted. The length and width of the foramina ovale of both sides were determined using digital Vernier calipers and area (A) was also calculated and analyzed.
