Background: Total hip arthroplasties have surged in popularity, increasing the importance of understanding the intricacies of the femur's morphometric attributes. Objective: This study aimed to investigate and correlate various morphometric parameters of the femur, and their implications in predicting the overall femur length. Methods: A total of 80 femur specimens were analyzed, with parameters encompassing head diameter, foveal depth, neck diameter, and several others. Results: Key findings showcased a significant positive correlation between the head and neck diameter (r=0.493, p<0.01). Furthermore, femur length exhibited positive correlations with the head diameter (r=0.322, p<0.01), foveal depth (r=0.233, p<0.05), and neck diameter (r=0.225, p<0.05). The regression model suggested that approximately 26.5% of the variance in femur length is predicted by these parameters, with a model R-value of 0.515. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the multifaceted relationships between various femoral parameters and their collective influence on femur length. While offering valuable insights for orthopedic considerations, further research is warranted for more refined and comprehensive understanding.
