Anatomia radiográfica do fêmur proximal: fratura de colo vs . fratura transtrocantérica

摘要

Objective To evaluate the correlation between radiographic parameters of the proximal femur with femoral neck fractures or transtrochanteric fractures. Methods Cervicodiaphyseal angle (CDA), femoral neck width (FNW), hip axis length (HAL), and acetabular tear drop distance (ATD) were analyzed in 30 pelvis anteroposterior view X‐rays of patients with femoral neck fractures (n = 15) and transtrochanteric fractures (n = 15). The analysis was performed by comparing the results of the X‐rays with femoral neck fractures and with transtrochanteric fractures. Results No statistically significant differences between samples were observed. Conclusion There was no correlation between radiographic parameters evaluated and specific occurrence of femoral neck fractures or transtrochanteric fractures.
