Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine the cervico-diaphyseal angle of adults seen in the radiology service of the CEMO Clinic, in Caracas,
between October 2020 and August 2023. Retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study, included radiological studies of healthy hips in radiological projections of the pelvis centered on the pubis. Sample of 111 patients between 18 and 95 years old (36 males, 75 females, 81 right and 89 left). The results obtained were compared between sexes and with results from other studies. The findings were as follows: the mean cervico-diaphyseal angle was (133.30 ° ± 5.13) on the right side 132.24 ° and 134.26 ° on the left; The mean cervico-diaphyseal angle for women was 132.48° ± 4.31, and for men: 134.84° ± 6.10. There were no statistically significant differences between sexes. Differences were found between the cervico-diaphyseal angle values from similar studies in
different ethnic groups, with similarities between the Venezuelan and Caucasian American cervico-diaphyseal angles. The study established the cervico-diaphyseal angle value for a Venezuelan population sample, demonstrating several differences and similarities with other countries
