When these elements are not available due to poor preservation, other bone elements, such as the femur, can be used given its good preservation and marked sexual dimorphism. Particularly, the proximal end of the femur is the most dimorphic region of this bone, so its evaluation is especially ...
Proximal end The proximal end of the femur includes the: femoral head neck trochanters intertrochanteric crest intertrochanteric line The head of femur is a roughly spherical structure that sits superomedially and projects anteriorly from the neck of the femur. The smooth convexity of the femoral ...
We describe the first case of the coexistence of the hereditary connective tissue disorder multiple exostoses (HME) and an acquired connective tissue disorder manifest by the overlap of dermatomyositis (DM), scleroderma (PSS), high titre speckled pattern antinuclear antibodies, and increased antibodies...
In a group of normally developed children and adolescents the age dependent distribution of forces at the proximal end of the femur was to be described. The results should explain why the shape of the proximal end of the femur changes significantly during the time of growth and why the neck ...
B. Proximal Femur The hip DXA scan includes the proximal end of the femur and portion of the pelvis, but only the bone in the proximal femur is evaluated. The proximal femur is the most difficult place to perform DXA measurements because small changes in femoral rotation can cause large chan...
Therefore, in the presence of pulsed lavage, one finds no significant effect of broach surface characteristics on cement penetration into cancellous bone of the proximal end of the femur.doi:10.1080/000164701753606653Breusch, Steffen J.Norman, Timothy L....
Two hundred and eighty-eight patients who sustained a fracture of the proximal end of the femur in 1975 were followed up for 10 years. The mean age of the patients was 75 years. Seventy-two percent were women. Age was the single most important factor determining long-term survival. Other ...
The Femur:The femur is a long bone located in the upper part of the leg between the knee and the hip. It is the longest bone in the body and equals roughly 25 percent of one's height.Answer and Explanation: The proximal femur is the end of the femur bone that is closest to the ...
The function of the quadriceps muscle after a fracture of the femur in patients who are less than seventeen years old. Thirty-three patients who had been managed for an isolated, closed fracture of the femoral shaft when they were less than seventeen years old were examined... WL Hennrikus,...
Therefore, in the presence of pulsed lavage, we conclude that robotic bone preparation does not increase cement penetration into cancellous bone of the proximal end of the femur.AldingerPeterSchneiderMichaelPritschMariaKreutzerJürgenBeckerChristian
