%X objective: to evaluate the correlation between radiographic parameters of the proximal femur anatomy and fractures. methods: three hundred and five digital x-rays of the pelvis were analyzed in the anteroposterior view. of these x-rays, twenty-seven showed femoral neck or transtrochanteric fractures. the anatomical parameters analyzed were: femoral neck width (fnw), femoral neck length (fnl), femoral axis length (fal), cervicodiaphyseal angle (cda), acetabular tear-drop distance (atd) and great trochanter-pubic symphysis distance (gtpsd). the analysis was performed by comparing the results of the x-rays with and without proximal femoral fracture, to establish a correlation between them. results: no differences were found between the anatomical parameters of the groups with and without proximal femoral fracture. conclusion: there was no association between anatomical changes in the proximal femur and greater susceptibility to fractures. level of evidence iv, cross-sectional study.
