Intrapopulation variability in mineralization density at the human femoral mid-shaft.
One of several microstructural variables known to affect the mechanical properties of bone is the degree of mineralization of bone matrix. The aim of this study was to examine mineralization density, and its variability with age and sex, from a biomechanical perspective. Histological sections, prepared from mid-shaft femora obtained at autopsy from 40 individuals, were imaged using quantitative...
متن کاملPreferred collagen fiber orientation in the human mid-shaft femur.
Collagen fiber orientation is one aspect of the microstructure of bone that influences its mechanical properties. While the spatial distribution of preferentially oriented collagen is hypothesized to reflect the effects of loading during the process of aging, its variability in a modern human sample is essentially unknown. In a large sample (n = 67) of autopsied adults, the variability of colla...
متن کاملFemoral shaft fractures in children.
Femoral shaft fractures represent approximately 1.6% of all bony injuries in children. There is a first peak in early childhood and a second one in midadolescence. Although femoral shaft fractures are disabling injuries, most heal rapidly without significant complications. Traction and casting were standard treatment up to a few years ago. Duration of hospitalisation was high. Recently however,...
متن کاملOntogenetic patterning of cortical bone microstructure and geometry at the human mid-shaft femur.
The bone growth process has long-lasting effects on adult bone structure and mechanical adaptation, yet the tissue level dynamics of growth are poorly studied. The specific aims of this study were to (1) quantify changes in bone size and shape through ontogeny, (2) describe the distribution of tissue types and patterns of cortical drift and expansion through ontogeny, and (3) explore relationsh...
متن کاملFractures of the femoral shaft in children.
A series of 133 fractures of the shaft of the femur in children (during the first 12 years) is discussed. The injury is much more common in boys. The highest incidence is in 3-year-old children. A gentle reduction is desirable and anaesthesia is rarely necessary. In the age group under consideration i in. of shortening in reduction is desirable; angulation should be avoided. Initial immobilizat...
