Prediction of Femur Bone Geometry using Anthropometric Data of Indian Population: A Numerical Approach

Morphometry of Femoral Neck Shaft Angle in Dry Femora of South India by Computer Assisted Image Analysis Method

“…It can also be seen that the implants designed for western skeletons occupy much more space in the Indian femoral head and neck [18]. There were no significant differences on right & left NSA in the present study which was similar to most of the other studies [7,[18][19][20]. NSA are characteristically very high (150°) in neonatal modern humans & then gradually decrease during development, reaching adult values during adolescence [21,22].…”

“…Femur implants are available in standard sizes of diameter of the femoral head & neck shaft angle. However, there is discrepancy as regards the measurement of the parameters [7]. Undersized or overhanging femoral implants could lead to altered soft-tissue tensioning & altered patella femoral stresses [8].…”

Morphology of Proximal Femur in South-West Coast of India

“…We observed a higher neck shaft angle in both groups, which were in contrast to that noted by Siwach et al 13 . Our findings, however, were comparable to those reported by Sengodan et al 17 , Deshmukh et al 18 and Saikia et al 19 wherein they reported higher neck shaft angles for the south, west and north-eastern Indian population, respectively. Anderson et al 20 studied inter-populational variation in human femoral neck shaft angles across 30 modern, historic and prehistoric human population samples and concluded that urban population have a higher neck shaft angle as compared to the non-mechanised rural population.…”

Evaluation of Proximal Femoral Geometry in Plain Anterior-Posterior Radiograph in Eastern-Indian Population

“…Our data showed that the average horizontal offset was 3.85 cm and 3.57 cm in male and female respectively. TR Deshmukh et al, [15] in 2010 showed that the mean HO was around 3. …”
