THE QUADRATE TUBERCLE: A MORPHOMETRIC STUDY

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 3, 7 - 12, 15.09.2021

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective
Quadratus femoris muscle originates from ischial tuberosity and inserts into the quadrate tubercle of femur. Simply quadrate tubercle may be defined to be localized on the intertrochanteric crest. There are only a few more detailed descriptions of its localization. Consequently we have aimed to describe the exact localization of the quadrate tubercle.
Material and Methods
Morphometric measurements related with quadrate tubercle were performed on 144 adult human femurs. Afterwards proportional calculations between the measured morphometric measurements related with quadrate tubercle were made.
Results
Mean vertical distance between the most prominent points of greater and lesser trochanters was found as 63.13 mm. Mean vertical distance between the most prominent point of greater trochanter and origin of quadrate tubercle was measured as 21.78 mm. Mean vertical distance between the origin and end of quadrate tubercle was determined as 17.16 mm. Mean vertical distance between the end of quadrate tubercle and most prominent point of lesser trochanter was 24.26 mm. Mean length of femur was measured as 425.47 mm. Origin of quadrate tubercle was meanly found in the upper 35% of the distance between the most prominent points of greater and lesser trochanters and end of quadrate tubercle was meanly found to be located in the upper 62% of the same distance.
Conclusion
As location of quadrate tubercle hasn’t been discussed in detail yet, we believe that this study will be instructive for further anatomical or clinical studies related with it.

TUBERCULUM QUADRATUM: MORFOMETRİK BİR ÇALIŞMA

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 3, 7 - 12, 15.09.2021

Abstract

ÖZET
Amaç
Musculus quadratus femoris, tuber ischiadicum’dan başlar ve femur’daki tuberculum quadratum’a tutunur. Basit tanımlamayla, tuberculum quadratum, crista intertrochanterica’da bulunur. Tuberculum quadratum’un lokalizasyonu ile ilgili tanımlama, çok az kitap ya da makalede bulunmaktadır. Bu yüzden, bu çalışmada tuberculum quadratum’un tam lokalizasyonunun tanımlanması amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler
Tuberculum quadratum ile ilgili morfometrik ölçümler, 144 erişkin insan femuru üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonra tuberculum quadratum ile ilişkili morfometrik ölçümlerin birbirlerine orantılı hesaplamaları yapılmıştır.
Bulgular
Trochanter major’un ve trochanter minor’un en çıkıntılı noktaları arasındaki vertikal uzaklık ortalama 63.13 mm bulunmuştur. Trochanter major’un en çıkıntılı noktası ve tuberculum quadratum’un başlangıcı arasındaki vertikal uzaklık ortalama 21.78 mm ölçülmüştür. Tuberculum quadratum’un başlangıcı ve bitişi arasındaki vertikal uzaklık ortalama 17.16 mm saptanmıştır. Tuberculum quadratum’un bitişi ve trochanter minor’un en çıkıntılı noktası arasındaki vertikal uzaklık ortalama 24.26 mm idi. Ortalama femur boyu uzunluğu 425.47 mm olarak ölçüldü. Tuberculum quadratum’un başlangıcı, trochanter major’un ve trochanter minor’un en çıkıntılı noktaları arasındaki ortalama vertikal uzaklığın üst 35%’inde, tuberculum quadratum’un bitişi ise aynı uzaklığın ortalama üst %62’sinde yer alıyordu.
Sonuç
Tuberculum quadratum’un lokalizasyonu henüz detaylı olarak bildirilmediği için, çalışmamızın bu oluşum ile ilgili gelecekte yapılacak olan anatomik ve klinik çalışmalar için yol gösterici olacağını düşünmekteyiz.
