Study Of Femoral Neck Anteversion Of Adult Dry Femora In Gujarat Region
Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the average angle of femoral neck anteversion in an Indian population. Unpaired 92 dry femurs, 50 of female (27 right and 23 left) and 42 of male (22 right and 20 left) devoid of any gross pathology were used to measure the femoral neck angle (FNA) from Department of Anatomy, Govt. Medical College, Bhavnagar in year 2005. They were evaluated by the Kingsley Olmsted method, and the data were statistically analyzed. In female femoral neck anteversion range form –8.3° to +30.4º with a mean of 16.4º on left and 10.5º on right sides. In male femoral neck anteversion range from –13.7° to +25.6º with a mean of 14.3º on right and 7.2º on left sides. The female femora showed about 2.7° more anteversion than the male femora. The average left-sided femora showed about 6.4° more anteversion than the right-sided femora.
