Abstract

32 male cadavers were selected to study the variation of bifurcation of brachial artery. Measurement were taken from (a) tip of the Acromion process of scapula to tip of the middle finger (b) Position of brachial artery was measured from epicondyle of humerus to the point of bifurcation of brachial artery. All the measurements were taken by tailors tape. The mean value of length right upper limb was 73.66 (SD ± 0.38) and mean length of point of brachial artery from epicondyle of Humerus was 4.29 (SD ± 0.01) and mean value of length left upper limb was 73.61 (SD ± 0.35) and point bifurcation of artery mean value was 4.28 (SD ± 0.02), correlative co-efficient study of upper limb was 0.73, ‘t’ test value was 5.8 and ‘p’ value was highly significant (p <0.01) of left limb was 0.84 ‘t’ test value was t.84 and p value was highly significant (p <0.01). This study was quite helpful to orthopedic surgeon, physician to predict the point of bifurcation by knowing length of upper limbs and vice versa, so that they can preserve the brachial artery and its branches and take proper use like pulsation or recording blood pressure.

Keywords: Brachial artery; Olecranon process; Acrimony process.
