Abstract: Background: Hip fractures are a major problem for elderly people nowadays. The shape of proximal
femur is known to be an important risk factor for hip fractures. Also the treatment of those fractures uses implants
which are based in proximal femur measurements. Aim of the work: the present work aimed to study the
measurements of the proximal femur in living Egyptian individuals in relation to age, sex, side, height and length of
the femoral shaft by using radiography and in adult dried femurs in relation to sex, side, length of the femoral shaft.
Materials and methods: This study was carried out on 250 living Egyptian human individuals divided into five age
groups 1st group from 1 year up to < 6 years, 2nd group from 6 years up to
