Background:To analyse the proximal femoral anatomy by radiographic evaluation. Materials & Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on conventional hip radiographs, involving a study cohort comprising 50 women and 50 men. The results were analysed using SPSS software. Results:The mean values of femoral head diameter and lateral femoral offset in females were significantly smaller than the corresponding values in males. There is a statistically significant difference of femoral head diameter mean values between genders (P = 0.001).Conclusion:The high diversity in the morphology of the proximal femur and the specificity of proximal femoral anatomy are evident from the observations.
