Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The femoral anteversion angle (FA) is defined as the angle formed by the projection of the femoral neck axis & the retrocondylar axis. In the present study, the following parameters were measured in dry femora of South Indian origin: 1) FA. 2) Side differences in FA. 3) Intra observer & inter observer reliability in measuring FA. About 170 femora that were available in the department of Anatomy were used for the study. 92 femora were of right side & 78 were of left side. \u00a0<\/strong>Two axes \u2013 femoral neck axis & retrocondylar axis were drawn & the angle was measured. The results were tabulated & the mean FA & standard deviation were calculated & compared between right & left side for significance. The mean FA was 11.4\u00b0\u00a0 (Range between -20\u00b0 to 36\u00b0). There was no significant difference in FA on right & left sides. There was good intra & inter observer reliability in measuring FA. The findings of the present study will be helpful to clinicians, therapists & researchers as ready references to FA among South Indian population.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> Femur, Femoral anteversion, Head neck axis, Retrocondylar axis.<\/p>\n
