Aim of this study is to define a set of normal anthropometric parameters based on 3D-CT measurements in normal asymptomatic children/adolescents and analyse the variations arising depending on age, side, and/or gender.<h4>Methods</h4>Morphology of the proximal femur was retrospectively assessed in 170 hips (85 children, < 15 years). Measurements included covered femoral head volume (CFHV), femoral head diameter (FHD), femoral head extrusion index (FHEI), coronal alpha angle (CAA), lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA), anterior (AOS) and posterior head-neck offset (POS) and femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA). Correlation analyses as well as inter- and intra-rater reliability were performed.<h4>Results</h4>CFHV, LCEA, FHD and AOS/POS increased with age and FHEI, CAA, and FNSA decreased with age. None of the measurements correlated with the side. AOS showed a poor correlation with gender. Rapid growth phases were observed at the age of 1, 7 and 11. The inter- and intra-rater reliability was high (range ICC 0.8-0.99 Cronbach alpha 0.86-0.99).<h4>Conclusion</h4>This data delivers a description of growth phases as well as gender and age-correlated reference values of the proximal femoral morphology that could be used by paediatricians and orthopaedic/paediatric surgeons to early diagnose proximal femur deformities and provide guidance in the planning of possible operations."],"journal":["Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA"],"pagination":["2009-2023"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8536629"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Anthropometry of the proximal femur and femoral head in children/adolescents using three-dimensional computed tomography-based measurements."],"pmcid":["PMC8536629"],"pubmed_authors":["Darwich A","Jawhar A","Schoenberg SO","Geiselhardt C","Bdeir M","Janssen S","Gravius S"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Anthropometry of the proximal femur and femoral head in children/adolescents using three-dimensional computed tomography-based measurements.","description":"<h4>Purpose</h4>Defining normal anthropometric ranges of proximal femur and femoral head for each age group in children/adolescents is a necessity when differentiating normal anatomical variants from pathological deformities.
