Introduction: In the field of orthopedics, surgeries involving the proximal end of the femur are commonly performed. Understanding the femur’s morphometry can help mitigate risks associated with vascular, metabolic, or trauma-related issues arising from surgeries in this region. Hence, the aim of this study is to gather data on femoral morphometric values to customize implant designs for the population of Madhya Pradesh, aiming to minimize complications.

Objectives:

This study aims to examine various femur measurements and compare them with existing research findings.

Materials and Methods:

Ninety dried femurs were sourced from the Department of Anatomy at Index Medical College hospital and research center Malwanchal university Indore Measurements, including femoral length, anterior neck length, and neck shaft angle, were taken using Vernier calipers, a goniometer, k-Wire and clay.

Findings:

The anterior neck length was measured at 33.03 ± 4.38 mm, while the femoral transverse diameter of the left femoral neck in dry femora was 27.2 ± 2.83 mm. The left femur’s neck shaft angle was recorded as 127.6° ± 6.7, and the femoral transverse diameter of the right femoral neck in dry femora measured 29.6 ± 2.93 mm.

Conclusion:

This study highlights unique femur measurements within the Madhya Pradesh population, distinct from those observed in other populations. These findings hold significant implications for diagnostic and treatment planning by radiologists and orthopedic surgeons, as well as for anthropological and medico-legal practices.
