Photogrammetric Evaluation of Proximal Femoral Morphometric Parameters of Southern Nigerians

Background: Understanding the ranges of the structural arrangement of human skeleton is requisite in anthropologic and legal anatomy, radiologic plants and orthopaedics.Aim: This study presents a new method of using photogrammetry to acquire and analyse data of the morphometric limits of the neck, near shaft (intertrochanteric or epiphyses area) of the next aspect of the cadaveric leg part.Methodology: A total of 127 dry human femur bones intentional and analysed critically utilizing photogrammetry. The following parameters were calculated each femur: femoral narrow connector shaft angle (FNSA), femoral narrow connector intertrochanteric angle (FNIA), femoral shaft intertrochanteric angle (FSIA), and the area of femoral intertrochanteric trio (FITAREA).Results: The mean gotten for calculated parameters are FNSA=132.91, FNIA=96.50, FSIA=35.93, FITAREA = 59.38mm2. Statistical analysis of the acquired data displayed no significant (p<0.01) distinctnesses in all measured limits between right and abandoned sides. From the outcome concerning this study, highly meaningful (p<0.01) positive correlation middle from two points FNSA and FSIA, and FSIA and FNIA was observed.Conclusion: We decide that dynamic and strong understanding of the geometry and strength of the next end of the os femora requires limits that conform to anatomical cues between the head, narrow connector and proximal rod of the os femora. This advocate how useful the FNIA and FSIA hopeful when used in addition to the FNSA in prognosis and managing having a common boundary femoral fractures as it defines the lines relation middle from two points the neck, intertrochanteric area (next epiphyseal area) and false accusation of femur. FITAREA which describes the strength of the femoral epiphyseal or intertrochanteric field would also be useful concerning this. We recommend the likely use of the parameters calculated in this study to improve guess and management of having a common boundary femoral fractures as they better elucidate an understanding of the morphology and substance of the proximal limit of the os femora.
