| Popis: | Precise anatomical assessment of femoral neck anteversion (FNA) and the neck shaft angles (NSA) would be essential in diagnosing the pathological conditions involving hip joint and its ligaments. The present study was undertaken on 48 fetal femurs to calculate the NSA and FNA in fetuses digitally. End on images of upper end of the femurs were taken for the estimation of FNA and a photograph in a perpendicular plane was taken to calculate the NSA. Microsoft Paint software was used to mark the points and Image J software was used to calculate the angles digitally. The FNA ranged from 17.08o to 33.97 o on right and 17.32 o to 45.08 o on left. The NSA ranged from 139.33 o to 124.91 o on right and 143.98 o to 123.8 o on left. Unpaired t test showed the FNA and NSA of femur did not vary significantly during the third trimester. |
