Background: The clavicle is a modified long bone that lies horizontally across the root of the neck in the human body. The nutri ent artery is the primary source of supply to a long bone. It enters the bone through the nutrient foramen which is directed away from the growing end. A nutrient foramen is present in the lateral end of the subclavian groove, running laterally and transmitting the nutrient artery which is derived from the suprascapular artery. The study aimed to find variation in the number, position, loca tion and direction of nutrient foramina in dry human clavicles in the Goan population. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 70 dry human clavicles in the Department of Anatomy, Goa Medical Col lege using a measuring scale and digital vernier callipers. Hughes formula was used to calculate the foramen index. Results: Nutrient foramen was present in all 70 clavicles. Single nutrient foramen was present in 57.14% clavicles; double fo ramina in 32.85% clavicles, three foramina were present in 8.57% clavicles and four foramina in 1.42% clavicles. The majority of the foramina (64.81%) were located on the posterior surface. Most of the foramina (94.44%) were positioned in the middle 1/3rd region. The nutrient foramina were directed laterally in all the clavicles. The mean distance of foramen from the sternal end of the clavicle was 70.81 and the mean foraminal index was 51.54. Conclusion: The clavicle is one of the most commonly fractured bones. It is typically fractured in the middle third. Knowledge of the location and position of the nutrient foramen is imperative to orthopaedic surgeons because damage to the nutrient ar tery might interfere with the healing of the fracture. Proper knowledge and understanding of the morphometric and topographic properties of the nutrient foramina will assist orthopaedic surgeons to preserve the microcirculation while performing surgeries on the clavicle.
