“…1,22,23.25,27,29 In the present study, FNA appeared to be more in females. This finding correlated with those of Parson et al, Ankur et al and Anil Kumar et al 29,23,25 In the present study, FNA of left was observed to be higher which suggests a right sidedness of lower limb with increased muscle tone. This finding correlated with that of Zalwadia et al and Ravichandra et al 23,27 Results obtained from the present study done on South Indian population differed from those obtained in studies of population of other parts of the country as well as those from the Western studies.…”

“…23,24 Anil Kumar et al quoted a value of 13.9 in their study in Maharashtrian population. 25 Vidhyadhar Rao in his study in the population of Karnataka (South India), quoted a value of 14.0. 26 The higher difference in the values compared with the present study could be because of the method adopted by different authors and may also be due to the difference in the sample size in each study.…”

BACKGROUND Femoral Neck Anteversion (FNA) is an important parameter for diagnosis of gait abnormality in children, risk of various congenital and acquired orthopaedic disorders as well as corrective osteotomy and hip arthroplasty. Femoral anteversion is the lateral rotation of the neck of the femur to the long axis of its shaft. Variability in FNA has been reported and is due to torsional forces applied on femur during development. The aim of this study was to estimate the angle of anteversion of femur in both genders on both sides. The present study was an attempt to provide baseline data of FNA in South Indian population, in particular, Andhra Pradesh. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted mechanically on 70 dried adult unpaired human femora, i.e. 48 male and 22 female bones. The Kingsley Olmsted 1 method was used for the study and the data was analysed. Statistical analysis-Statistical analysis was done using student unpaired 't' test. The data was analysed using GraphPad Prism 5.0 (Free Trial Version). RESULTS Out of the 70 femora undertaken, mean value of FNA obtained in male is 15.95, 14.1 on right and 17.8 on left sides and in female it is 19.2, 21.8 on right and 16.6 on left side. Statistical analysis revealed significant (p < 0.05) greater average anteversion in female bones and right-left variations being greater on the left side.

The femur is the longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the human body. Morphometric study of femur can be useful for estimation of stature, prediction of femur fractures/pathologies, operative management as well as for determination of congenital anomalies. 250 dry femur bones collected from bone Store, Government Medical College, Surat, Gujarat with study done over a period of 6 months. Total length of each femur and the Foraminal Index (FI) for each nutrient foramina were obtained. The mean total length of femur obtained was 41.22 cms. Torsion angle for both right sided as well as left sided femurs was most common in the range 11 - 14. 39.7% (48) of the total right sided femurs (121) had a torsion angle in the range 11 - 14 while 41.9% (54) of the total left sided femurs (129) also had a torsion angle in the range 11 - 14. Maximum number had a neck shaft angle in the range of 123 - 127 which constitutes 41.6% (104) of total sample size. Nutrient foramina was most commonly (48.8%) along linea aspera with most had a size corresponding to 22 gauge, which constitutes 45.7% (119) of total sample size. Morphometric study of femur helps us to determine various factors which could be helpful for prediction, prevention and diagnosis of a certain pathology as well as for its management and treatment.
