Measurement of Collo-diaphyseal Angle and Femoral Neck Anteversion Angle of Femur Bone
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The femur is the weight-bearing typical long bone of lower limb which extends from the pelvis to the knee. Anthropometry provides scientific method and technique for taking various measurements in different geographic regions and races. Aim: The purpose of the study was to measure the average collo-diaphyseal angle (CDA) and femoral neck anteversion (FNA) of dry fully ossified femur bones. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out on 80 dry fully ossified femur bones (40 right and 40 left). The result obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: In the present study, average CDA was found to be 126.10 ± 6.56 and 126.20 ± 5.23 on the right and left sides, respectively. The average anteversion recorded was 19.75 ± 7.75 and 15.75 ± 7.13 on the right and left sides, respectively. Conclusion: Any increase or decrease in the CDA and FNA angles is associated with various clinical conditions. The present study will be useful for various orthopedic procedures and diagnoses, in the fields of general human osteology and forensic anthropology.
