“…The parameters of the distal femur vary among race, sex, and region [ 2 ]. In our study, the mean medial condyle length was found to be 57.38±4.47mm, which is comparable to data found by Yazar et al in Turkey (57±4.71mm), Khanal et al in Nepal (57.4±4.1mm), Lakati et al in Kenya (58.01mm) and Terzidis et al in Greece (58.7±4.1mm) [ 2 , 8 - 10 ]. It was slightly lower than 63±5mm observed by Chandran et al in south India and 61±4.4mm observed by Everhart et al in Ohio [ 5 , 7 ].…”

Introduction: Anthropometric measurements of the distal femoral fragment play a crucial role in prosthesis design during arthroplastic knee surgeries and offer valuable clues for stature estimation in forensic investigations. The present study is an attempt to assess various anthropometric parameters of the distal femur in this regard.Materials and methods: A total of 96 intact dry femora were anthropometrically assessed using digital Vernier calipers. The femoral length was measured using an osteometric table. The torsion angle was calculated with an analog goniometer. The various parameters studied included: medial condyle length and thickness, lateral condyle length and thickness, bicondylar width, intercondylar width, intercondylar depth, torsional angle, and femoral length. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).Results: Mean medial condyle length was 57.38±4.47mm and thickness was 24.53±2.27mm. Mean lateral condyle length and thickness were found to be 58.49±4.3mm and 25.33±3.15mm respectively. Mean bicondylar width was 71.96±6.73mm, mean intercondylar width 21.86±2.71mm, and the intercondylar depth 27.04±2.59mm respectively. The average femur length was 41.87±3.31mm and the average torsion angle was 20.19°±6.99°. Significant correlations were observed between distal femoral parameters. Lateral condyle length showed maximum correlation with other parameters. Femur length was found to correlate significantly with all parameters except medial condyle thickness. Torsion angle was significantly correlated with lateral condyle length and femur length only.Discussion: The findings of this study show considerable variation from those of other studies done within India. This proves that distal femoral anthropometry has regional variations. These data can aid sports physicians and orthopedic surgeons with implant designing and forensic experts during investigations.

“…Akkaya et al [31] suggested that the length of the intertrochanteric crest of the right femur was 67.5±4.9 mm, and of the left femur was 67.5±4.9 mm, which is almost to our findings. Khanal et al [21] studied the measurements of proximal and distal fragments in the Nepalese population and found the length of the intertrochanteric crest of the right femur was 5.10 ±0.74 cm of the left femur was 4.98±0.66 cm which is lower than our study.…”

The femur or thigh bone is the longest and strongest bone in the body. It provides skeletal support for the thigh. Weight-bearing and stability of gait are the essential functions of the femur. AimTo construct the baseline data on different dimensions of the proximal end of the fully ossified human femur and determine any significant differences between the right and left femora. ObjectiveTo measure the total length of the femur, proximal breadth, vertical diameter of the head, transverse diameter of the head, the circumference of the head, the vertical diameter of the neck, the transverse diameter of the neck, the circumference of the neck, anterior length of the neck, neck-shaft angle, length of the intertrochanteric crest and correlate the different dimensions of the proximal end with the total length of the femur. ResultThe variables of the proximal end of the left femora like proximal breadth (PB), the circumference of the head (CH), vertical diameter (VDN), the transverse diameter of the neck (TDN), the circumference of the neck (CN), neck length (NL), neck-shaft angle (NSA), length of an intertrochanteric crest (LITC) showed highly significant positive linear correlation with the length of the femur. Circumference of the neck showed the highest degree of correlation with the length of the femur (correlation coefficient 0.839). ConclusionThe statistically significant difference between right and left femora was found between the length of the femur, the vertical diameter of the neck of the femur, the transverse diameter of the neck of the femur, and the length of the intertrochanteric crest of the femur. The mean value of proximal breadth, the vertical diameter of the head, the transverse diameter of the head, the circumference of the head, the circumference of the neck, anterior length of the neck of the femur, and neck-shaft angle of the right and left femora to have no statistically significant differences.

“…13,14 In a study conducted in Nepal, the mean value of linea intertrochanterica length was found to be 5.04±0.70 cm. 19 In 2004, Singh et al showed that the value of linea intertrochanterica was 6.31 cm and the mean result for the same parameter in 2013 was 5.81±5.80 cm. These values were found to be low compared to our study 24 .…”

BACKGROUND Variational differences of the femur between populations like clinical, anthropological and forensic anthropology are important. These morphometric differences are influenced by factors such as race, heredity, climate and diet. METHODS With the descriptive and cross-sectional design of this study, we aimed to investigate the femur morphometry with digital image analysis program. In this study, 105 femur bones belonging to Cukurova University, Medicine Faculty, Anatomy Department, were used. This study which has a descriptive and crosssectional design, was carried out in April 2018. For statistical analysis, "Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows 20.0" program was used. RESULTS The mean and standard deviation values of the parameters measured in femur were as follows-maximum femur length 431.42±36.2, physiological femur length 428±36.
