Morphometric features, localization and shape types of fovea capitis femoris
Özet
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the morphometric properties of the fovea capitis femoris (FCF) and its localization on the femoral head, the shape types and the relationship with other femur parameters.
Methods: This study was performed on 146 dry femora (60 right, 86 left). Morphological and morphometric properties were evaluated on dry bones and digital images of these bones. The measurement of the parameters was performed directly with the caliper and using the ImageJ program on digital images.
Results: The most common localization type was “Type 2 localization” and the shape type was “oval type”. FCF sizes [except FCF depth (DFCF)] were found to be smaller in Type 1 localization. The femoral neck shaft angle (NSA) was found to be greater in the triangular type than the round (circular) type in the left side and in all cases (right + left). The vertical diameter of femoral head (FHD-V), anteroposterior diameter of femoral head (FHD-AP) and area of femoral head (AREAS92HOF) values were greater in triangular types than oval types in all cases. There was no relation between the localization types and shape types of FCF.
Conclusion: As a result, morphometric properties, localization and shape types of FCF were related with some femoral parameters. We belive that we have contributed to the orthopedic and radiological applications, biological and anthropological sciences (physical anthropology, ethnology, etc.) with the findings obtained in our study.
