“…The geometry of the proximal femur has been the subject of numerous studies in the literature. [ 5 , 9 , 10 ] The characteristics of implants used in hip joint procedures and the effects of ethnic heterogeneity on proximal femoral geometry were the main topics of these studies. Additionally, studies examining the relationship between changes in proximal femur geometry and the type of fracture have been published.…”

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between fracture type by determining data on the geometry of the proximal femur in the pre-fracture period in patients over 65 years of age who had hip fractures as a result of low-energy trauma. A total of 127 patients who were admitted to the hospital for reasons other than hip pathology within 1 year before the occurrence of hip fracture and who had an anterior-posterior pelvic X-ray were included in the study. Measurements were made to evaluate the proximal femur geometry, neck shaft angle, central edge angle, femoral head diameter, femoral neck diameter, femoral neck length, femoral offset length, femoral neck axial length, hip axis length, and femoral shaft diameter. As a result of these measurements, analyses were performed to determine the relationship between the control group and fracture types. The mean Neck shaft angle scores were significantly higher in both fracture types than in the control group ( P = .034, P = .002). The mean Femoral offset length values of both fracture types were lower than those of the control group ( P = .002, P = .011, respectively). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of collum femoris fracture increased as the Femoral head diameter value increased. (OD = 0.21, P = .002). The geometric parameters of the proximal femur play an important role in the formation of hip fracture types. Therefore, differences in proximal femur geometry in hip fracture types should be considered, and patient-focused choices should be made regarding the surgical procedures and implants to be used during fracture fixation.
