The surgeries over the proximal end of femur is common procedure in orthopaedics. Knowledge of proximal femur's morphometry can be helpful in reducing the risk of complications linked to surgeries done in this region due to vascular, metabolic or traumatic causes. The present study is therefore conducted to provide data on the morphometric values of proximal femur and to customize the implant design to suit the Telangana population and thereby reducing the complications.Objectives: 1.To study the various measurements of proximal end of femur 2. To compare the results with previous studies.Materials and Methods: A total of 180 dry femur have been collected from Department of Anatomy, Mamata Medical College. With the aid of the vernier calliper, goniometer and osteometric board, measurements such as femoral length, transverse diameter of the head, anterior neck length and angle of the neck shaft were measured. Results:The average length of the left femur was 43.33 ± 2.72 cm and 42.95 ± 3.29 cm of the right femur. The anterior neck length of the right femur was 2.69 ± 0.41 cm, and left femur was 2.61 ±0.34 cm. The neck shaft angle of left femur was 120.3° ± 5.26 and right femur was 119.92° ± 6.27. Conclusion:Relative to other populations, this study showed the measurements of proximal femur in Telangana population were different. The results of this study can be significant in anthropological and medico-legal practice as well as for the diagnosis and treatment planning of radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
