Dear readers,

I am in desperate need for normative data on the femoral neck angles (mean, std
and range), for males, females and in relation to age.
Also I would like to know the height of the greater trochanter. What I mean with
this is: the distance from the most lateral point on the greater trochanter and
a line tangentialthe lateral x-ray projection of the femoral shaft.
to
the lateral x-ray projection of the femoral shaft.

Does anybody know whether such data are at all available and how I can get hold
of them?

Since my e-mail adress is not working properly yet, I am for the moment using
the adress of DirkJan Veeger. If you can help me in any way, please reply to his
adress.

Thanks,
