Limited research exists on the anthropometric characteristics of the Kashmiri hip joint. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing hip joint morphology in the Kashmiri population using computed tomography (CT) scans. The research examines various anthropometric parameters, including acetabular depth, femoral head diameter, and neck-shaft angle. By analyzing these measurements, the study seeks to establish a reference database specific to the Kashmiri population. This data can contribute to improved understanding of hip anatomy in this region, with potential applications in areas like orthopedic surgery and prosthesis design.
