Femur Angles and femoral abnormalities

Coxa valga

femur Angles - Coxa Vara and Coxa Valga

Coxa vara

A Coxa vara is deformity of the hip, whereby the angle between the ball and the shaft of the femur is reduced to less than 120 degrees. This results in the leg being shortened, and therefore a limp occurs. It is commonly caused by injury, such as a fracture. It can also occur when the bone tissue in the neck of the femur is softer than normal, meaning it bends under the weight of the body. This may either be congenital, also known as Mau-Nilsonne Syndrome, or the result of a bone disorder.

Symptoms include pain, stiffness, and difficulty in walking. It is diagnosed by an X-ray.
