A study of proximal femoral geometry for standardizing femoral component in total hip replacement
Keywords:
femur, head vertical diameter, head transverse diameter, head circumferenceAbstract
Background and aims - Total Hip Replacement (THR) is the most common, permanent and effective surgical procedure available for the treatment of Osteoarthritis of the hip joint. In case of THR, it is mandatory that the design and dimensions of the femoral component, match (best-fit) the anatomy of the femur more so in cement-less variety. Significant variations are noted in the proximal femoral geometry of different races and ethnic groups Studies show that genetic and environmental factors including lifestyle determine the geometry of the proximal femur. The study is aimed to provide guidelines for future design of the femoral stem for Indian population. Materials & Methods - The present study was conducted on 202 adult human femora available in Anatomy, Orthopaedic & FMT departments of V.S.S Medical College, Burla, Odisha. The head vertical diameter (HVD), head transverse diameter (HTD), and circumference of femoral head (HC) were measured at the upper end of femur. The results were analyzed using statistical package SPSS 17.0 version. Results & Conclusion- - The average HVD was 41.24 ± 3.41 mm. whereas the average HTD was nearly similar with HVD averaging 41.21± 3.44mm.
