Introduction: Anthropometry is one of the traditional and conceivably the basic tool of biological anthropology. Height is an important identifying feature of an individual. Estimation of height can be done by measurement of ulna and various regression formulae have been derived by different authors for different regions. Aim: To define correlation and to derive the linear regression equation from the length of ulna in male tribal population of Udaipur region, Rajasthan, India. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, from February 2019 to January 2020. Male tribal population between the age of 20-40 years, in and around Udaipur district of Rajasthan, were included in this study. Measurement of ulnar length of both right and left sides were recorded along with their height. ANOVA test was done to find out the correlation between height and ulnar length. Regression equation was formulated for the study population. Results: Total 245 males, belonging to Bhil and Meena tribes of Rajasthan, of mean age 31.87 years, were included in this study. The mean length of right ulna was 25.52 cm, of left ulna was 25.82 cm, and mean height was 159.34 cm. The study showed a positive correlation between the length of ulna and total height of male population of Udaipur region, in which the correlation coefficient of right ulna with height was 0.61, and that of left ulna with height was 0.64. Conclusion: A positive correlation exists between the length of ulna and height of an individual.

OBJETIVO: Comparação dos resultados funcionais nos pacientes submetidos à tenotomia com ou sem tenodese da CLB associada ao reparo da lesão do manguito rotador por visão artroscópica, com seguimento superior a dois anos. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo não randomizado, com nível de evidência III, em que foram revisados os prontuários e realizada reavaliação clínica de 77 pacientes com lesão da cabeça longa do bíceps, sendo que 55 foram submetidos à tenotomia sem tenodese e 22 à tenotomia com a tenodese, com seguimento ambulatorial maior que dois anos. Foram avaliados idade, dominância, lado operado, tamanho das lesões classificadas por Gartsman, arco do movimento pré e pós-operatório, presença ou ausência do sinal do Popeye, dor na corredeira bicipital, avaliação segundo a escala University of California at Los Angeles e Elbow Strength Index. RESULTADOS: O UCLA médio total da amostra foi de 16,92 (8 a 25) para 31,45 (13 a 35) (p < 0,001). Comparando a variação do UCLA pré com o pós-operatório entre os dois grupos, nos pacientes submetidos à tenotomia com a tenodese esta variação foi de 15,95 e nos pacientes submetidos somente à tenotomia a variação foi de 14,62 (p = 0,023). No entanto, não houve significância estatística na comparação entre os grupos quanto à dor na corredeira bicipital, sinal do Popeye e Elbow Strength Index. CONCLUSÃO: O estudo apresentou diferença estatística na variação do UCLA. O grupo em que foi realizada a tenotomia com a tenodese da CLB apresentou melhores resultados funcionais.OBJECTIVE: To compare the functional results among patients un dergoing tenotomy with or without tenodesis of the long head of the biceps associated with arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff in juries, with a minimum two-year follow-up. METHOD: This was a retrospective non-randomized trial with evidence level III, in which the medical files of 77 patients with lesions of the long head of the biceps were reviewed and clinically reassessed. Among these, 55 patients underwent tenotomy without tenodesis and 22 underwent tenotomy with tenodesis, with outpatient follow-up for at least two years. The age, dominant side, operated side, lesion size using the Gartsman classification, pre and postoperative range of mo tion, presence or absence of the Popeye sign, pain in the bicipital groove and assessments using the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score and the elbow strength index. RESULTS: The mean UCLA score of the sample went from 16.92 (range: 8 to 25) to 31.45 (range: 13 to 35) (p < 0.001). Comparison of the pre and postoperative UCLA scores in the two groups showed that the dif ference in the group with tenotomy and tenodesis was 15.95 and in the group with tenotomy alone, 14.62 (p = 0.023). However, there was no statistical significance in comparing the groups regarding pain in the bicipital groove, Popeye sign or elbow strength index. CONCLUSION: This study showed that the difference in UCLA scores was statistically significant. The group with tenotomy and tenodesis of the long head of the biceps presented better functional results.
