Background: The valgus cut angle (VCA) of the distal femur in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is measured preoperativelyon three-joint alignment radiographs. The anatomical axis of the femur can be described as the anatomical axis of thefull length of the femur or as the anatomical axis of the distal half of the femur, which may result in different anglesin some cases. During TKA, the anatomical ...

Accepted: 31.12.2014 In this study, analysed using finite element method (FEM) of biomechanical behaviours of human femur model under the different loads. Geomagic and Soldiworks program were used for 3D model human of femur model, and Ansysworkbench was used for finite element analysis (FEA). Compression, tension, bending and torsional loading were applied to 3D human femur model. Femur bone w...

OBJECTIVE To examine the diabetes risk association with femur length, standing height, and height without femur length (HWFL) (HWFL = standing height--femur length). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used data from three time periods of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2000, 2001-2002, and 2003-2004) for this cross-sectional analysis and confined the eligible subjects t...

sists of deformity or defective and retarded growth, or defective ossification, of the upper half of the shaft of the femur. The radiographs in these cases reveal that the upper half of the femur is absent. But subsequent operative procedures in these cases have shown that actually there is a cartilaginous portion present, representing the upper half of the shaft of the femur. At later ages, fr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Falling with a femur fracture is a serious event that negatively affects the quality of life of elderly individuals as well as patients with parkinsonism. This study investigated the association between parkinsonism and femur fracture and compared the risk of femur fracture between subjects with and without parkinsonism. METHODS This study examined a population-based ma...

This paper deals with the development of a medical support model that can be used as prototype to study anatomy femur and for biomechanical research experimentation related bone plates. CT scan data are converted into 3D using MIMICS software imported finite-element analysis. The materials selected fabrication were PEEK CF (infused chopped carbon fibre). was analysed ANSYS® WORKBENCH® 2021 R2 d...

Background: Distal Femur fractures are one of the common fractures occurring in road traffic accidents. Various modalities are used for fracture of distal femur, one of them is condylar buttress plate. Various studies have claimed better results in surgical management of distal femur fracture. This study was planned to compare two treatment modalities for supracondylar and intercondylar fractur...

BACKGROUND Questions regarding the distribution of stress in the proximal human femur have never been adequately resolved. Traditionally, by considering the femur in isolation, it has been believed that the effect of body weight on the projecting neck and head places the superior aspect of the neck in tension. A minority view has proposed that this region is in compression because of muscular f...

Hip and neck femur fracture surgery was associated with high post-operative mortality and poor functional results. The decision-making process with regards to the elderly with hip or neck femur fractures was of great importance, requiring consideration of ethical, medico legal and economic factors in addition to the purely medical ones. An important component in the decision-making process was ...
