ABSTRACT

Background: A good understanding of morphometric measurements of the proximal femur is essential in order to decrease the risk of complications associated with orthopedic surgeries performed in the proximal femur due to traumatic injury, metabolic or vascular causes, and to achieve proper alignment of prosthesis to be implanted. The purpose of this study is to evaluate morphometry of neck of femur in Eastern Indian population.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 50 dry adult femora [30 Right(R) and 20 Left(L)] available in the department of Anatomy of Medical College Kolkata, India.

Results: a) Mean and Standard Deviation (SD) of Vertical length of Head of femur was Right side: 38.56±2.50mm and Left side: 38.07±3.43mm. b) Mean and SD of Width of neck of femur was Right side: 28.84±2.71mm and Left side:28.09±2.29mm. c) Mean and SD of length of Neck of femur on anterior aspect was Right side:26.37±2.92mm and Left side:26.12±3.42mm. d) Mean and SD of length of Neck of femur on posterior aspect was Right side:31.65±2.75mm and Left side:26.69±3.11mm. e) Neck-shaft angle on both sides were calculated.

Conclusion: Indian dimensions of proximal end of femur are different as compared to that of the values in other parts of the world. Present study will be useful for crafting suitable implants used for surgical correction of fracture neck femur in East Indian population.
