چکیده
Background: An osteological study of femur provides useful data to understand various diseases of femur and serves as a guide for the treatment of various pathological conditions of it. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the various parameters of femur among south Indian population and to compare them with the data available worldwide. Materials and Methods: A total of 158 adult femora were used to measure femoral total length, femoral anterior neck length and femoral neck shaft angle at Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College, Salem and Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai. Results: The length of the femur range from 35.5 cm to 50 cm with mean of 41.66 cm. The anterior neck length range from 2 cm to 4cm with mean of 3.09 cm. The neck shaft angle range from 120° to 145° with mean of 134.15°. Conclusion: The present study hence provides valuable parameters which would help the forensic anthropologists, orthopedicians, and prosthetics to deliver excellent performance in their respective specialties.
