EVALUATION OF THE FEMORAL ANTEVERSION AND INCLINATION ANGLE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVING IN ANATOLIAN GEOGRAPHY

Öz

Objective It was aimed to determine the characteristics of femoral anteversion and inclination angles of individuals who lived Anatolian geography in the inventory of the medical faculty anatomy main science laboratory. Materials and Methods 45 femurs (27 male – 18 female) were selected from the anatomy laboratory. Femurs were grouped according to gender and sides. Photographs of each femur were taken and digitized. Femoral anteversion angle (FAA) and femoral inclination angle (FIA) measurements were taken using the Image-J program. With the SPSS 20, statistical data between genders and sides were determined and compared. Results It has been shown in many studies that both FAA and FIA dimensions have lower values than the right side of the left side and the female gender less than the male gender. However, according to our findings in our study, the p value was above 0.05 in comparing the measurements of FAA and FIA measures between both genders and the parties. Therefore, there was no significantly difference in the statistical data obtained. Conclusion Angular values of the femur may be related to many lower extremity pathologies. For this reason, femoral angle values for each society should be investigated and values belonging to that society should be revealed. Especially in a society that is located in the transition zone between Asia and Europe like our society, it is important to reveal the femoral angular values.

ANADOLU COĞRAFYASINDA YAŞAYAN BİREYLERİN FEMUR ANTEVERSİYON VE İNKLİNASYON AÇISININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Amaç Tıp Fakültesi Anatomi Ana Bilim Dalı laboratuvar envanterinde bulunan Anadolu coğrafyasında yaşamış bireylerin femur anteversiyon ve inklinasyon açılarının özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem Anatomi laboratuvarında bulunan 27’si erkek 18’i kadın toplam 45 femur üzerinde çalışıldı. Femurlar cinsiyet ve taraflara göre gruplandırıldı. Her bir femurun fotoğrafı çekildi ve dijital ortama aktarıldı. Image-J programı kullanılarak femoral anteversiyon açısı (FAA) ve femoral inklinasyon açısı (FİA) ölçümleri alındı. Ölçümlerin cinsiyet ve taraflar arasında karşılaştırılması SPSS 20 programı ile yapıldı. Bulgular Yapılan birçok çalışmada hem FAA hem de FİA açılarının sol tarafta sağ taraftan, kadınlarda erkeklere göre daha küçük olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ancak bizim çalışmamızdaki bulgularımıza göre kadınlardaki ortalamalar daha yüksek bulunmuş olsa da, hem cinsiyet hem de taraf karşılaştırmasında FAA, FİA ölçümlerinde istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Sonuç Femura ait açısal değerler birçok alt ekstremite patolojileri ile ilgili olabilir. Bu sebeple her toplum için femoral açı değerleri araştırılarak o topluma ait değerler ortaya konmalıdır. Özellikle bizim toplumumuz gibi Asya ile Avrupa arasındaki geçiş bölgesinde yer alan bir toplumda, femoral açısal değerlerin ortaya konması önemlidir.
