Abstract

Background: Femur is widely studied in the fields of orthopedics, anthropology, forensic and human kinematics. Mostly femoral fracture of upper end is involved. Most common cause of hip joint failure is osteoarthritis. Other conditions that are rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, avascular necrosis, trauma, and bone tumors lead to hip replacement surgery. Annually, about 800,000 artificial hip joint replacements are performed across the world. The prosthetic components are used in total hip arthroplasty. The present study was undertaken to investigate the variations in the morphometry of femur. The study was performed to enlighten the orthopedic surgeons and implant manufacturer about the geometry of upper end of femur. Objectives: The objectives of present study to measure the neck and head transverse and vertical diameter of femur. Material and Methods: The present study was performed on 200 dry femora in the department of anatomy RKDF Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The measurements were taken of neck and head transverse and vertical diameter of femur by using Vernier Caliper. The mean value and range were calculated by using SPSS software.
