Abstract

 Introduction: The measurement of angle of anteversion is important in orthopedic surgery for hip replacement and to gain the normal activities of that joint. It is also important factor to increase the longevity of joint. Methods: Adult femora available in the anatomy department of different Medical College in costal Andhra Pradesh including G S L Medical College was used as study sample to get exact idea of femoral anteversion, any significant difference between right and left sided femora in South Indian population and to compare them with previous study. Goniometer and Vernier calliper were used to measure all the parameters. Values were analyzed by using statistical software (SPSS programmed, version- 17). Results: The anteversion of present study was about 18.780 . Significant differences between left sided and right sided anteversion was observed. Anteversion on right side is 19.45+/-5.64 and on left side 18.45+/-4.30. The p value is 0.048 which is <0.05. Conclusion: The present study is an attempt to evaluate the angle of anteversion among the South Indian Population to determine the bilateral asymmetry and to compare it with the anteversion of other races like Caucasian, Negroes etc as stated in different literatures that might be helpful for orthopedic surgeon in hip replacement therapy.
