Quantifying the anatomical variability of the proximal femur
This study demonstrates that PFV cannot be reliably predicted from NFV alone. These findings underscore the need for advanced, 3D preoperative planning tools to better predict stem version and accommodate patient-specific anatomy. Additionally, the increased variability observed in females may warrant sex-specific consideration in implant design choice and surgical technique.
