Abstract

The parameters of proximal femur vary with age, gender, race, heredity, ethnicity and geographic factors. The knowledge of population specific parameters of femur is crucial in selection of proper size of implant for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) which in turn affect post‐operative outcome. In present study, we measured parameters of proximal femur, analyzed any significant difference between two sides of body and compared with other ethnic populations of world. Around 80 dry human cadaveric femurs of unknown age and sex were studied to determine the morphology of the proximal end of femur. The measurements were taken using sliding Digital Vernier Caliper (with 0.01 mm precision), Goniometer and Osteometric board. Length of Femur (FL)., Vertical Diameter of Head (VHD)., Transverse Diameter of Head (THD)., Femur Anterior Neck Length (FANL)., Femur Neck Width (FNW)., Femur Neck Thickness (FNT) and Femur Neck Shaft Angle (FNSA)., were measured. Mean and standard deviations were calculated for all parameters. Unpaired t test applied to find any significant difference between two sides. We observed no significant difference between two sides. Pearson Correlation coefficient was used to analyze relationship between different parameter. We found high association between femur length and dimensions of head and neck. The data obtained from present study will provide population specific parameters of proximal femur. Such knowledge may help in proper designing and construction of hip prosthesis suitable for Indian population. It may contribute in better post‐operative outcome by attaining good hip joint functionality.
