Abstract

Introduction: Preoperative templating in hip arthroplasty surgery is crucial for accurate implant selection and reducing postoperative complications. This study examines whether there is a correlation between femoral head size and shoe size, with the aim of simplifying the preoperative planning process.

Methods: A total of 14 patients had their shoe size and femoral head size measured. Data were analyzed using linear regression and Pearson's correlation analysis to quantify the relationship between the two variables.

Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a value of 0.80 (p = 0.0007), and the linear regression model showed that 63% of the variation in shoe size was based on femoral head size.

Conclusion: The study demonstrates a strong and significant correlation between shoe size and femoral head size. This correlation could potentially be used to develop a simple calculation method, where femoral head size = (shoe size - 23.9) / 0.36, which may streamline preoperative planning in orthopedic surgery and reduce workload.

Funding: None.

Trial registration: None.

[圣诞文章：鹿与救护车的碰撞]。

前言：在髋关节置换术中，术前模板对于准确选择植入物和减少术后并发症至关重要。本研究旨在探讨股骨头尺寸与鞋码之间是否存在相关性，以简化术前计划流程。方法：测定14例患者的鞋号和股骨头大小。数据分析采用线性回归和Pearson相关分析来量化两个变量之间的关系。结果：Pearson相关系数为0.80 (p = 0.0007)，线性回归模型显示63%的鞋码变化与股骨头大小有关。结论：本研究显示鞋码与股骨头大小之间有很强且显著的相关性。这种相关性可能用于开发一种简单的计算方法，股骨头尺寸=（鞋码- 23.9）/ 0.36，这可能简化骨科手术的术前计划并减少工作量。资金:没有。试验注册：无。
