EVALUATION OF NECK SHAFT ANGLE OF FEMUR ON DRY BONES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 32
Abstract
[b] BACKGROUND[/b]: Evaluation of the neck shaft angle of femur helps to understand clinical relevance in bio mechanics of the hip joint. It helps for the better treatment of different pathological conditions of hip and femur and also to design prosthesis. Femoral neck shaft angle is important to convey the information regarding the race to which they belong. Hence the present study was under taken to determine the neck shaft angle of femur in humans. [b]OBJECTIVE[/b]: 1. To correct the different types of deformity and to have a normal good walking Mechanism. 2. To know the recent methodology and attempt to evaluate the range of normal Angles of femora and their sex differences. [b]METHODS[/b]: [b]ANTHROPOMETRIC[/b]: 100 Adult dry bones were studied and analyzed. The neck shaft angle of femur was measured by tracing outlines of contours of all femora. [b]RESULTS[/b]: The neck shaft angle of the femur have revealed that there is no much difference in between males and females. There was slightly higher 0.2° in females. [b]INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION:[/b] There was no significant gender difference in neck shaft angle. The Knowledge of knowing the neck shaft angle helps to understand the Biomechanics of the hip joint and also for better treatment of pathological condition of hip and femur.
