An Osteometric Study of Proximal and Distal Femur Morphology

Purpose: The current study was undertaken to determine the surgically relevant parameters of proximal and distal femur from right and left femora in our population. Methods: These measurements were taken from 400 adult femora (200 right, 200 left) from Department of Anatomy laboratory of Cukurova Un...

description Purpose: The current study was undertaken to determine the surgically relevant parameters of proximal and distal femur from right and left femora in our population. Methods: These measurements were taken from 400 adult femora (200 right, 200 left) from Department of Anatomy laboratory of Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine using an electronic digital caliper and goniometer. The mean values of the neck of the length (NL), maximum femoral length (FL), the length of femoral shaft (FSL), intertrochanteric apical axis length (ITAAL), maximum vertical diameter of the femoral head (VDH), neck shaft angle (NSA), superior-inferior femoral neck diameter (SID) and intercondylar notch witch (ICNW) were taken. Results: The mean values of these measurements were found to be 22.2 +/- 3.0 mm, 429.5 +/- 35.0 mm, 306.5 +/- 26.7 mm, 61.9 +/- 5.7 mm, 44.2 +/- 3.8 mm, 121.10 +/- 4.00, 30.8 +/- 3.1 and 2.4 +/- 0.2 cm in the right side respectively. However, in the left side same dimensions were 22.5 +/- 4.4 mm, 431.3 +/-26.2 mm, 299.5 +/- 59.4 mm, 61.4 +/- 5.1 mm, 44.2 +/- 3.3 mm, 121.2 +/- 4.00, 30.0 +/- 2.9 and 2.3 +/- 0.2 cm respectively. Conclusion: The observations presented in the report have defined anatomic parameters that need to be taken into consideration when surgical procedures are performed in hip and knee area for this population.
