Comparative study of complications associated with femoral and radial approach for coronary angiography
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The knowledge about different diameter of the head and neck of the femur is essential in orthopedic surgery and for radiological practice in identifying pathology of bone. The femoral normative values are also essential to plastic and reconstructive surgeons and medical rehabilitation. Aim: To evaluate the morphological features of head and neck of diameter of the human left and right femur. Material and Methods: In this prospective study 353 dried, intact human femora were classified into Right side and Left side. Variables studied were vertical diameter of head and neck of the femur and Neck-shaft angle of the femur. Digital slide caliper and goniometer were used for the measurements. Results: The circumference of the neck and Neck- shaft angle were found to be significantly different on both the sides. Whereas, the vertical diameter of the head and neck did not show significant difference on comparison of both the sides. Conclusion: This study was an attempt to construct morphological data on head and neck diameter of femur. The data allow safe instrumentation and fixation and also help in formulating parameters for manufacturing implants using data derived from a studied population.
