| dc.description | In Brazilian literature the works are scarce on the collo-diaphyseal angle (CDA) in Brazilians, as well as, in relation to the other measures that can be acquired in the proximal portion of the femur, as the femur axle length (FAL), femur neck width (FNW), and the femur head diameter (FHD).This study had the purpose of enlarging the data on the Brazilian people, providing anatomic fundamentals that allow a better comprehension of clinical and pathological states involving the hip joint. All these measures were gotten in millimeters (mm) through a paquimeter and a goniometer for the same researcher. Eighty-seven bones were analyzed, being 40 (46%) right femurs and 47 (56%) left femurs. The bones were in their complete form and they were from adult corpse. For the analysis of measures were used Friedman's analysis of variance to compare, separately, for the sides right and left, the values of the five measures effected by the researchers; the test of Student for two not independent samples, with the objective to compare, for each corpse, the values of the observed angle in the right and left side. The results were: right-CDA 128.23° ± 4.43 and left-CDA 128.04° ± 4.36, right-FAL 90.14mm ± 5.53 and left-FAL 91.08mm ± 5.48, right-FNW 28.69mm ± 2.58 and left-FNW 28.81mm ± 3.28, andright-FHD 41.80mm ± 3.10 andleft-FHD 42.11 ± 3.42. In conclusion, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of femoral geometry data of Brazilian bones in this study which could be compared to values carried out in other Brazilian states since the Brazil continental size causes variations in the population. Also it is imperative to emphasize the future possibility of applying this knowledge in clinical practice, especially in relation to the risk of bone fracture | |
