Biomechanical and biological theories are suggested for its etiology. The relationship between proximal femoral anatomy and osteoarthrisis of the hip is under controversy.
Materials and methods : 73 individuals, 34 with osteoarthrisis and 39 control cases were included in the study. Both groups were matched for age, occupation and weight. Then neck-shaft angle in both groups was measured.
Results : Mean neck-shaft angle was 133o, which did not show statistically significant difference from that of the control.
