femoral neck angle: formed by axis of femoral shaft and femoral neck

What is it about?

We used CT to get precise normal values of the femoral neck angle in medium and large dog breeds in order to develop an optimally functioning total hip prosthesis for these dog breeds.

Why is it important?

We emphasize the importance of the femoral neck angle, which is critical in the development of properly designed, highly functional total hip prostheses. This will, in turn, improve the long-term success rate and reduce the post-operative complications associated with hip joint replacement
