Introduction: The biomechanical engineers take a revolutionary step towards altering the implant designs to suit our needs. Hence, morphometricevaluation of the femur bone on both sides playsan important role in reducing complications during the procedureof Hemiarthroplasty. Objectives: To evaluate the morphometric analysis of the upper end of the femur and alsofind out whether there are any significant differences between the right and left femur. Materials and method: 90 dry femurs were collected from the Department of Anatomy, NC Medical College and Hospital, Panipat. Measurements were obtained using a Goniometer, Coloured thread and sliding caliper. Results: In this study, the mean value of Neck shaft angle, Head transverse diameter, Neck transverse diameter, Head vertical diameter, Neck vertical diameter and proximal breadth on the right and left femora have no statistically significant differences. Conclusion: It is commonly accepted that the statistical analysis of the Morphometry of the femur among various populations reveals a large amount of variation due to the fact that the morphometric measurements of the femur are from different countries. |
