Abstract
Background: The proximal femur, vital for human skeletal system, plays a vital role in hip joint biomechanical functions and is essential for medical and anthropological applications due to its anatomical dimensions. Aim: To determine the regional differences in this anatomical location by doing a thorough morphometric investigation of the vertical head diameter, foveal diameter, fovea transverse diameter, and foveal longitudinal diameter of the proximal femur. Materials & methods: The study examined the morphometric characteristics of the proximal femur in individuals from Central India, specifically in the Indore region. Participants aged 20-80 visited prestigious clinics or hospitals in Indore for non-femoral or hip pathology-related causes. Eligible adults had to have spent at least two generations in Central India to account for geographical variances. Radiographic imaging and dry bone measurements were used to measure shape and size. Orthopedic specialists examined participants for mobility problems or unusual gait patterns that might alter the femur's form. Results: The study analyzed femur measurements, including vertical head diameter, foveal diameter, fovea transverse diameter, and foveal longitudinal diameter. The vertical head diameter was 40.60 ±3.36 mm, and the mean foveal depth was 2.86 ± 0.86 mm. The fovea's transverse and longitudinal diameters were 12.49 ± 2.46 mm and 16.05 ± 4.48 mm respectively. No significant differences were found between age and gender. Conclusion: Morphometric data including presents study is crucial for hip interventions and prosthetic designs, revealing regional variations in anatomy, improving patient outcomes and reducing complications.
