Measurement of Femoral Neck-shaft Angles In Indian Population
Keywords:
Femur, Neck-shaft angle, biomechanics of hip jointAbstract
Background: Femoral neck-shaft angle is an important parameter considering the biomechanics of the hip joint. The normal femoral neck-shaft angle is in the range of 125-135 degrees. Objectives: The objective of present study was to find out the average measurement of femoral neck-shaft angle in Indian population. Study design: Retrospective observational study. Result: The result of the present study is that the femoral neck-shaft angle was 136.8 degrees (122.2 degrees-141.1 degrees), right femur was 137.1 degrees, left femur was 136.7 degrees. Conclusion: The femoral neck-shaft angle of Indian population is not significantly different as compared to that given in literature. Also there is no significant difference in the neck-shaft angle of left compared to the right femur.
