The major blood supply to long bones occurs through the nutrient arteries, which enter through the nutrient foramina. This supply is essential during the growing period, during the early phases of ossification, and in procedures such as bone grafts, tumor resections, traumas, congenital pseudoarthrosis, and in transplant techniques in orthopaedics. The present study analyzed the position and the number of nutrient foramina in the diaphysis of 101 adult femur bones. The majority of nutrient foramina in femur are double in number and dominant in size, which may represent a double source of blood supply. The location of the nutrient foramina is predominant on middle third of diaphysis. 57.32% of the nutrient foramina of the femur are located mainly around the linea aspera. The mean foraminal index is 56.72%. This study recorded data related to the population of Rohilkhand region (U.P.), India, providing ethnic data to be used for comparison and that may help in surgical procedures and in the interpretation of radiological images.
