Abstract
Damages of the main nutrient artery during the fractures may lead to poor repair or bone infarcts. Therefore, knowledge about the localization and number of nutrient foramina of bones is important in some surgical procedures such as bone implants, fracture repair, bone grafts. Foraminal index is calculated as dividing the distance between proximal end of the bone and nutrient foramen to the total bone length. One hundred and twelve femora of the 56 mature dogs were used in this study. The general morphometric parameters of femur; the total length, the cranio-caudal and medio-lateral diameters of mid-femur were taken. The numbers of the primary and secondary nutrient foramina were determined and the foraminal index was calculated. One foramen nutricium was determined at the 88 bones while two foramen at the 24 bones. The mean foraminal index was 36.4%, between ranges of 31.8% - 55.1% in dog femora. Statistical difference of foraminal index was not determined between male and female dog femora. These data may be valuable for surgeons in cases of total hip arthroplasty, intramedullary pin, and external fixation and also on evaluating period of fracture repair after surgery

Abstract
Kırık oluşumu veya tedavisi sırasında nutrient arterde oluşabilecek hasarlar, kemiğin zor iyileşmesi veya beslenme yetersizliğine bağlı nekroz oluşumuna yol açabilir. Bu nedenle uzun kemiklerde foramen nutricium’un yeri ve sayısının bilinmesi kemiğe çeşitli implantların uygulanması, kırık iyileşmesi, graft uygulanması gibi çeşitli ortopedik uygulamalar açısından önemlidir. Foraminal indeks; foramen nutricum’un kemiğin proximal ucuna olan mesafesinin kemik uzunluğuna oranı olarak ifade edilir. Bu çalışmada çeşitli ırklardan 56 erişkin köpeğe ait 112 adet femur kullanıldı. Çalışılan femur’ların genel morfometrik özellikleri için uzunluk ve çap ölçümleri alındıktan sonra, corpus femoris’in caudal yüzünde bulunan primer ve seconder for. nutricium’ların sayıları belirlendi ve foraminal indeks değerleri hesaplandı. İncelenen kemiklerin 88 tanesinde sadece bir adet foramen nutricium bulunurken, 24 kemikte iki adet delik tespit edildi. Foraminal index en düşük %31.8, en yüksek %55.1, ortalama olarak ise %36.4 olarak hesaplandı. Erkek ve dişi hayvanların femurları arasında indeksin istatistiksel farklılık göstermediği tespit edildi. Elde edilen bu değerler, köpeklerde total kalça protezi, intramedullar pin, plak veya eksternal fikzasyon gibi ortopedik uygulamalar sırasında ve bu tür uygulamalardan sonra kırık iyileşmesi sürecinin değerlendirilmesine ilişkin çalışmalarda faydalı olabilecektir
