Correlation between neck shaft angle of femur with age and anthropometry: A radiographic study
Introduction: Neck shaft angle of femur (NSA) and body mass index (BMI) are important determinants of fracture neck femur which is considered to be a health burden of our society. Methods: In this study fifty people aged more than fifty years were selected consecutively after interview and examination in department of Radio diagnosis, Medical College, Kolkata. Neck shaft angle was measured on t...
متن کاملA 45-degree radiographic method for measuring the neck shaft angle and anteversion of the femur: a pilot study.
PURPOSE To propose a novel method to measure the neck shaft angle and anteversion of the femur using anteroposterior and 45-degree oblique radiographs. METHODS Three human subjects were used to verify the 45-degree oblique method. The true neck shaft angle and anteversion of the femur were determined using computed tomography. The true values were compared with the values derived by the 45-de...
متن کاملComputing Neck-Shaft Angle of Femur for X-Ray Fracture Detection
Worldwide, 30% – 40% of women and 13% of men suffer from osteoporotic fractures of the bone, particularly the older people. Doctors in the hospitals need to manually inspect a large number of x-ray images to identify the fracture cases. Automated detection of fractures in x-ray images can help to lower the workload of doctors by screening out the easy cases, leaving a small number of difficult ...
متن کاملClinical Analysis of Femur Shaft Insufficiency Fractures
BACKGROUND To characterize the recently issued femur shaft insufficiency fracture in terms of a patient's own epidemiological status. METHODS Fourteen patients were treated for insufficiency fracture from July 2002 to June 2008, excluding cases including the risk factors of insufficiency fracture. All patients were female, and their mean age was 75.6 years (range, 65 to 89 years). The mean fo...
متن کاملA Study on Femoral Neck Anteversion and Its Clinical Correlation
Results: The angle between centre head neck line to transcondylar line was measured using goniometer in 164 dry bones and the mean value was 9.8 deg. The mean value was 9.49 deg on the right side and 10.13 deg for the left side femora with a standard deviation of 1.66 and 1.50 respectively showing a higher angle in the left side femora. A statistically significant difference of 0.64 was found f...
