An anatomical and osteometric study of the femoral sulcus angle in adult Malawians
Background: Femoral sulcus angle is particularly important in clinical evaluation of patellofemoral joint. Individuals show considerable differences in asymmetrical dimensions of the femur.

| description | Background: Femoral sulcus angle is particularly important in clinical
evaluation of patellofemoral joint. Individuals show considerable
differences in asymmetrical dimensions of the femur. Objectives: To
determine the size of femoral sulcus angles in adult black Malawians
using the skeletal collection in the department of Anatomy, College of
Medicine and assess their gender differences; to compare femoral sulcus
angles of Malawians with other ethnic groups. Methods: A cross
sectional study was done in which femoral sulcus angles of dry bones
were measured using a goniometer. Results: There is no significant
difference in the mean sulcus angles between right and left femora in
males (p=0.8100) and females (p=0.0742); between all males combined and
females combined (p=0.8845). There is a significant difference in the
mean between all left femora combined and all right femora combined
(p=0.0260). Conclusion: This study has provided the mean size of the
femoral sulcus angle of adult Malawians. These findings suggest that
the size of the sulcus angle cannot determine gender among adult black
Malawians suggesting the interpretation that femora asymmetric
dimensions are population specific, which should be considered in the
patellofemoral joint evaluation. |
