Fractures of olecranon can occur as a result of hyperextension trauma to elbow joint. Various implants are available for diverse fractures in distal humerus and these are contoured for anatomy of this region. Morphometry of olecranon is important since their fractures occur in 10% of upper extremity fractures. Material and Method: Present study was conducted on 100 dry humeri from Department of Anatomy, GMC Jammu. Morphometry of distal humerus was studied i.e. distance between proximal and distal point of olecranon fossa, distance between distal part of olecranon fossa and trochlea, and distance between proximal edge of olecranon fossa and trochlea. Result: Distance between proximal and distal point of olecranon fossa was 1.80± 0.17cm, distance between distal part of olecranon fossa and trochlea was 1.42±0.16cm, and distance between proximal edge of olecranon fossa and trochlea was 3.22±0.27cm. Conclusion: Morphometric analysis of distal humerus is used in endoprosthetic construction, reconstructive operations, etc. Morphometric measurements of olecranon fossa are important since olecranon fractures occur in 10% of all upper extremity lesions.
