Proximal femoral geometry and its clinical relevance in Indians - A radiological study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Morphology and statistical analysis of proximal femoral anthropometry among different populations reveals a great amount of variation Operations on the proximal femur are one of the commonest in orthopaedic surgical practice The aim of these operations is to restore femoral anatomy to the normal as far as possibleAim The aim of present study is to remove the lacunae of information about proximal femoral geometry in Indians and evaluate its impact on implant designMaterials and Methods 150 normal digital anteroposterior radiographs of pelvis with both hips PBH of patients were studied from the department of Radiology The Neck Shaft angle Neck Width and Neck Length were measuredResult The mean neck shaft angle in Male and Female femora was 1333nbsp683deg and 1295 plusmn 738deg respectively The mean Neck length in Male and Female femora was 3068 plusmn 540 mm and 2643 plusmn 482 mm respectively The mean Neck width in Male and Female cadaveric femora was 3404 plusmn 337 mm and 2825 plusmn 282mm respectively The mean Neck length in both Male and Female femora on both Right and Left sides showed significant positive correlation with the Neck widthConclusion This study will help the biomechanical engineers in altering the implant designs to suit the needs of Indian PopulationKeywords Neck length Neck shaft angle Neck width Proximal femoral geometry
