Investigation of Metapodium and Acropodium Bones in Siirt-Colored Mohair Goat (Capra hircus) by 3D Modeling

Abstract

Studies on Artiodactyla species benefit from the use of metapodial bones. Being one of the bones that completed its development early and being well preserved because it is not affected by environmental conditions, it can be unearthed as a single piece in archaeological excavations. In recent years, the disadvantages of 2D images have contributed to developing 3D modeling methods in medicine. Adult (1-3 years old), 10 male and 10 female Siirt-colored Mohair goat metacarpus and forelimb digit bones (phalanx proximalis, phalanx media and phalanx distalis) were used in our study. Bones were scanned with a computed tomography device. The resulting images were saved in DICOM format and 3D models were created using a special software. 14 osteometric measurements were taken from the metacarpus and 12 from the digit bones. The results were evaluated statistically. As a result of the statistical evaluation, in the metacarpus; Smallest Breadth of diaphysis (Sd), Breadth of distal (Bd), Medio-lateral width of condylus medialis width of condylus medialis (WCM), Depth of proximal (Dp), Antero-posterior diameter of external trochlea of condylus medialis (Dem) and Antero-posterior diameter of internal trochlea of condylus medialis (Dim) parameters were found to be statistically significant between males and females (P<0.01). For phalanx media, GLpe and Bp measurement parameters were statistically significant between genders (P<0.05). The data obtained from the study will contribute to anatomy education, the classification of bones obtained in zoo-archaeological excavations, and the determined anatomical features that will contribute to surgical approaches.

Siirt Renkli Tiftik Keçisinde (Capra hircus) Metapodium ve Acropodium Kemiklerinin 3D Modelleme ile İncelenmesi

Abstract

Artiodactyla türlerine ilişkin çalışmalarda metapodial kemikler önemlidir. Gelişimini erken tamamlayan kemiklerden biri olması ve çevre koşullarından etkilenmemesi nedeniyle iyi korunmuş olması, arkeolojik kazılarda tek parça olarak ortaya çıkarılmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Son yıllarda 2 boyutlu görüntülerin dezavantajları tıpta 3 boyutlu modelleme yöntemlerinin gelişmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Çalışmamızda yetişkin (1-3 yaş), 10 erkek ve 10 dişi Siirt renkli tiftik keçisinin metakarpusu ve ön ayak parmak kemikleri (phalanx proximalis, falanx media ve falanx distalis) kullanıldı. Kemikler bilgisayarlı tomografi cihazıyla tarandı. Ortaya çıkan görüntüler DICOM formatında kaydedildi ve özel bir yazılım kullanılarak 3 boyutlu modeller oluşturuldu. Metacarpus'tan 14, parmak kemiklerinden 12 osteometrik ölçüm alındı. Sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel değerlendirme sonucunda metakarpusta; En küçük diyafiz genişliği (Sd), distal genişliği (Bd), condylus medialis medialis medialis genişliği (WCM), proksimal derinliği (Dp), condylus medialis eksternal troklea ön-arka çapı (Dem) ve Condylus medialis internal troklea ön-arka çapı (Dim) parametreleri dişiler ve erkekler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (P<0.01). Falanks ortamı için GLpe ve Bp ölçüm parametreleri cinsiyetler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (P<0.05). Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen verilerin anatomi eğitimine katkı sağlayacağı, hayvanat bahçesi-arkeolojik kazılarda elde edilen kemiklerin sınıflandırılması ve belirlenen anatomik özelliklerin cerrahi yaklaşımlara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
