Correlation between diameters at different levels of the proximal femur with age and height.

MLD+20 and APD+20: medial-lateral diameter and antero-posterior diameter of bone medullary cavity at a plane of 20 mm above the lesser trochanter, MLD and APD: medial-lateral diameter and antero-posterior diameter of bone medullary cavity at the midpoint of the lesser trochanter, MLD−20 and APD−20: medial-lateral diameter and antero-posterior diameter of bone medullary cavity at a plane of 20 mm below the lesser trochanter, IID: internal diameter of the isthmus, IED: external diameter of the isthmus, IP: distance from the midpoint of the lesser trochanter to the isthmus. CFI: Canal flare index. MCFI: Metaphyseal canal flare index. *P<0.05.
