The femur is the longest bone in the human body being composed at the proximal end by the head, the anatomical neck (attaching the head to the trochanters), the major and minor trochanters (which serve as the site of insertion of muscles) and the surgical neck, joining the diaphysis the...
femoral neck fracturesfracture fixationIn the Association of August 28, 1899, I published a report of 17 cases of intracapsular fracture of the neck of the femur treated according to the method advocated and practiced first by Prof. T. J. Maxwell thirty years ago. It is what I have seen ...
In the present study, an accurate and reliable 3D measurement method for the FNTA was established, through defining the position and direction of the cross-section of femoral neck and the proximal coronal plane of femur precisely (details are provided Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). The size of the ...
First, the study was designed to compare gross anatomy, microanatomy, histology and structure of various entities of the proximal femur (femoral head, femoral neck, intertrochanteric region, midshaft) in human and rat. Secondly, a comparison of the hip anatomy and structure between human and rat...
The present study was undertaken to determine whether there is a constant difference between the angle of inclination and the Alsberg angle and to evaluate statistical relationships between the inclination angle, Alsberg angle and the angle between the anatomical and mechanical axes of the femur. Mea...
Patella Lateral, medial, superior, and inferior structures of the knee cap Tibial Tuberosity Large bony prominence on the anterior tibia, serving as the distal attachment of the patellar tendon Femoral Sulcus (Trochlear Groove) Concave curvature on the femur, with distinct medial and lateral regions...
The trochlear groove of the femur, especially the larger anterior protrusion of the lateral femoral condyle, provides significant bony stability for the patella.82 The normal trochlear facet (sulcus) angle was established by Brattstrom82 using radiological techniques. Evaluation of 100 normal knees show...
Joint mechanics, including how bones like the femur and humerus work together to provide motion, were given detailed attention. Musculature Leonardo’s drawing of the superficial anatomy of the shoulder and neck Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomy studies also displayed a profound examination of musculature....
For example, the term femur is placed in the hierarchy according to this limb bone's spatial location, as a substructure of the upper leg, rather than as a part of the skeleton. In contrast, the brain is described as being part of the central nervous system, rather than as a part of...
Measurements were taken from 50 male femurs (25 right and 25 left, aged 30-40 years) from the Anatomy Department, Cukurova University: inclination angle was determined between the neck and the shaft of the femur; Alsberg angle, between a line drawn through the base of the epiphyseal plate ...
