ABSTRACT:

Introduction: The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body and the structure of its proximal portion allows the leg to move in three dimensions relative to the torso, thus serving as a linchpin of human mobility. Moreover, age related and pediatric disorders at this skeletal site are common and confer strong risk factors for current and future disability. The femur forms the skeleton of the thigh, carries body weight, supports the movements of leg and provides attachment to the muscles. Morphology of bones is very much affected by race, sex, environmental factors and life style.

Materials and Methods: For this study total 285 Femurs of various bodies in central Gujarat were collected randomly and unknown age & sex. 285 Femurs were studied in department of Anatomy, Sri B.K.Shah Medical institute & Research Centre. The following measurements were measured Neck shaft angle, Femoral Length and Neck Length of femur.

Results and Conlusion: Total mean length of femur was  435.8 ± 27.32 (Mean ± SD ) mm. Right side mean length of femur was 436.2 ± 27.91 (Mean ± SD ) mm. Left side mean length of femur was 433.8 ± 26.14 (Mean ± SD ) mm. Maximum length of femur was 446 mm and minimum length was 423 mm.

Key words :  Femur,  Femoral Length,  Femoral Neck Length, Femoral neck Shaft angle.
