Femoral Head Fovea Capitis Variant Configurations and Age Related Changes- A Radiological Study

Abstract: Background: Many studies in the literature focused on the proximal geometry of the femur using cadaveric samples, X-rays or computed tomography, demonstrated substantial differences in the proximal femoral geometry in different patient groups. Many radiological parameters have been introduced in the literature to aid in diagnosis and surgical interventions. Objectives: We aimed to assess the diameter of the femoral head fovea capitis in both genders with different age groups and to record their variant configu… Show more

“…The slightly posterior position of the fovea is mentioned in several studies, but as an introductory information cited from other sources or as a generally known fact, not as an investigated factor [26]. This study provides detailed information on the position of the fovea in relation with the femoral neck axis in two planes and its relationship to standard morphological parameters of the femur.…”

“…A similar method of using the femoral neck axis as a reference point was used to assess the position of the fovea in transverse view. A delta angle in the transverse plane would be unreliable, because patients usually do not have CT scans performed with a standardized rotation, as would be needed to provide reproducible results [2]. In this case, the axis passed always within the fovea, what allowed providing an information that would be easy to visualize, that is the percentage of the fovea diameter that is posterior vs anterior to the femoral neck axis.…”
