Three-dimensional (3D) modelling, which has an increasing interest in the literature, could help surgeons to better understand the lesions by visualizing the real anatomical features compared to plain radiographs and two-dimensional (2D) tomography images. We aimed to evaluate the native femoral anatomical features of Turkish females and males using 3D computed tomography models.  Methods  We evaluated the right femoral anatomical features of 60 females and 60 males between 31 and 65 years of age creating 3D computerized tomography models. The gender-specific differences of femoral neck inclination and anteversion, femoral mechanical-anatomical axis, anatomical and mechanical lateral distal femoral, medial and lateral proximal femoral angles were measured on 3D femoral anatomical models.  Results  The mean age of our study groups was 50.6 ± 8.5. We determined a statistically significant difference between gender groups in terms of mean femoral neck anteversion angles (p = 0.009). We observed the retroversion of the femoral neck in 12 adults (10%). The mean values of femoral neck inclination, femoral mechanical - anatomical angle, anatomical and mechanical lateral distal femoral angles, medial and lateral proximal femoral angles did not differ any statistical significance between gender groups.  Conclusion  Although the anatomical angle measurements except femoral neck anteversion, did not differ significantly between gender groups of our study, there were differences between mean anatomical angles when compared to other studies in the literature, which investigate the different races or Caucasian population. Through 3D anatomical data, more compatible implants, prosthesis or biomaterials can be produced by determining gender and race-specific anatomical differences.
