Knowing how IAand AA will be affected by age and gender and knowing the relation between these two angles will help to take a moreaccurate approach while evaluating and managing the follow up of a patient undergoing total hip arthroplasty, reconstructive surgery or planning physical theraphy. Conclusion: The Alsberg angle is positively related with inclination angle, and subject to change by age. The Alsberg angle was alsosignificantly higher in males than females in 21–40 age group.

The inclination angle was significantly higher in males than females on both sides and was significantly lower in 41–60 age group. The meanAlsberg angle of the femur was 42.07☗.04º on the right-side and 41.43☗.03º on the left. Results: The mean inclination angle of the femur was 132.88☗.08º on the right-side and 130.27☗.81º on the left. Statistical analyses were made to determine the difference between the gender and age groups. Both genders were separated into 3 different agegroups. Methods: The present study was conducted on X-Ray images of 208 healthy individuals (103 males and 105 females) admittedto Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University, Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinics. Objectives: The objective of our study was to examine the changes in the inclination and Alsberg angles of the femur interms of age and gender.
