    Abstract

    The hip joint is a complex ball-and-socket joint that provides stability and mobility to the lower extremity. It is an important joint for weight-bearing and locomotion, and is essential for maintaining balance and posture. Several anatomical parameters of the hip joint are important in understanding the mechanics and function of the joint. Aim: To investigate the anatomical parameters of the hip joint using a cadaveric cross-sectional study.Methods: We obtained ten cadaveric specimens of the hip joint from the anatomy department of Javaharlal Nehru Medical College,S AWANGI(Meghe) ,Wardha, Maharashtra, INDIA.The specimens were dissected to expose the hip joint, and a series of measurements were taken using a digital caliper. The measurements included the acetabular diameter, femoral head diameter, neck-shaft angle, center-edge angle, acetabular depth, and acetabular angle. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the results were compared with previously reported values in the literature.Results: The mean acetabular diameter was 4.4 cm, and the mean femoral head diameter was 4.2 cm. The mean neck-shaft angle was 126.5°, and the mean center-edge angle was 31.6°. The mean acetabular depth was 2.4 cm, and the mean acetabular angle was 39.8°. These values were consistent with previously reported values in the literature. Conclusion: In this study, we investigated the anatomical parameters of the hip joint using a cadaveric cross-sectional study. Our results were consistent with previously reported values in the literature. Understanding these anatomical parameters is important for clinicians and researchers in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hip joint disorders. Further studies are needed to investigate the relationship between these parameters and the risk of hip joint disorders
