FORECAST OF FEMUR BONE SKELETON WITH ANATOMICAL PARAMETER OF INDIAN POPULATION

Abstract

Total hip replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure that replaces a diseased hip joint with artificial bone known as implant. Due to extensive variations in the sizes and shapes of femur bone, a selected commercial hip implant sometimes may not be best-fit to a patient, or even it cannot be applied as geometric discrepancies between the femur and implant. The aim of the study is to develop mathematical approach through which geometry of femur can be obtained by using anthropometric data. From result it was explicit that the measured value and value obtained by means of mathematical model showed authentic correlation in male and female categories. The model was validated by comparing measured value with calculated value and the agreement was found qualitative as coefficient of correlation were more than 0.90 for each category.
