The Osteometrical evaluation of bilateral femoral head for significant variability and its applied significance

Journal Title: Scholars Bulletin - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 7

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of present study is to determine the bilateral significant difference between the right and left side femoral head diameters, the correlation between diameters in each side and Osteometrical data in Indian population. The dimensions of the femoral head are important in preparation and selection of prosthesis or implants for femoral head and in the determination of gender. Difference in femoral head size was observed by previous studies. Present study is designed on random sample of 102 femur bones to determine bilateral significant difference between the right and left side femoral head diameters, to determine the correlation between diameters in each side and Osteometrical data in Indian population. The descriptive measures and inferential calculations were done. The student’s t-test and Scatter plot, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and regression analysis were used to assess the objective. Statistical assessment with p-values < 0.05 was considered significant. The mean values (mm) for vertical diameters were 43.63±2.74 (left) and 43.62±2.63 (right). Anteroposterior diameters were 44.02±2.87 (left) and 43.92±2.84 (right).head circumference were 136.99±8.41 (left) and 138.06±8.97 (right). Significant variability was not found (p>0.05) among the bilateral femoral head diameters. Significant strong positive correlation (p<0.05) was observed between the vertical diameter and anteroposterior diameter. Result was compared with available researches. Conclusion: Significant variability in the femoral head diameter was not found. The vertical and anteroposterior diameters of femoral head showed strong positive correlation.
