Study of Proximal femoral Anthropometry in Population of Eastern Madhya Pradesh
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. It has a proximal rounded, articular head projecting medially from its short neck, which, in turn, is a medial extension of the proximal shaft. Material & Method: One hundred twenty (120) dry femurs human Indian cadavers without any pathology obtained from the Department of Anatomy were utilised for this study. Femoral head diameter (FHD), Horizontal offset (HO), Neck shaft angle (NSA) and Femoral Neck Thickness (FNT) were measured. Results: There was a significant difference between right and left side of femoral head diameter, femoral neck thickness, neck shaft angle and horizontal offset. The average femoral head diameter for the entire sample was 45 mm, average femoral neck thickness was 27.7 mm, average neck shaft angle was 1280 and average horizontal offset was 39.8 mm. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that marked differences do exist in the dimensions between the femur of the Indian population and that of the populations of other regions of the world. For Indian population best fit prosthesis can be made with the help of the published data of proximal femur.
