MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF DISTAL END OF FEMUR IN INDIAN POPULATION.
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Knee joint is one of the most important joint needed for locomotion but unfortunately it?s commonly affected by degenerative diseases, which ultimately lead to joint replacement surgery. Anthropometric measurements of distal femur will help in appropriate designing of knee joint replacement prosthesis. Methods: In this study eighty adult dry femurs were taken for distal anthropometric measurements in department of anatomy, government medical college Jammu. Bicondylar Width and transverse diameter of femur shaft were measured using vernier caliper. Results: The mean Bicondylar width of 80 femurs studied was 74.96 ? 5.35 millimeters (mms), of which 42 right sided femurs had mean Bicondylar width of 74.98 ? 5.91 mms and in 38 left sided femurs it was 74.94 ? 4.74 mms. The mean transverse shaft diameter of studied femurs was 24.88? 2.07 mms of which right sided femurs had mean transverse diameter of 25.07 ? 2.19 mms and in left sided femurs it was 24.67 ? 1.94 mms. Conclusion: The measurements obtained will help biomedical engineers in designing the knee replacement prosthesis of appropriate size for Indian patients undergoing knee replacement surgeries.
