The restoration of marrow in a mechanically depleted segment of rabbit femur has been reported to be a local phenomenon initiated by cells normally resident in bone. That marrow regeneration in an evacuated femur is independent of circulating stem cells has been confirmed in mice bearing a heterologous marrow transplant. Mice were given 800 R of whole-body X-radiation with experimental femur sh...

Bisphosphonates are the primary therapy for postmenopausal and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Case series suggest a potential link between prolonged use of bisphosphonates and low-energy fracture of subtrochanteric or diaphyseal femur as a consequence of oversuppression of bone resorption. Using health care utilization data, we conducted a propensity score-matched cohort study to examine ...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is one of the most common aging disorders. Its prevalence varies according to lifestyle and dietary habits in various countries. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in Tehranian women aged 40-60 years in 2000. Materials and Methods: In this study, 754 non-pregnant women were selected by cluster random sampling. Sociodemographic charac...

Background: Discriminant function analysis is the most popular statistical model in sex determination. This method is now becoming the choice for analysis the gender. Femor is important bone used for gender determination. The present study was conducted to determine the gender of individual using femoral head in study population. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted in the department o...

conclusions we report of loss of achieved length after lengthening with a telescopic nail. weight bearing before complete consolidation of the regenerate might be a risk factor for that. thorough examination of the limb length and careful evaluation of the radiographs are required in the follow-up period. the precice nail system requires the same vigilance like the other intramedullary systems ...

In spite of advances in techniques and improvements in surgical implants, confusion still prevails regarding use of specific implants in distal femur fracture. Fractures in the distal femur have posed considerable therapeutic challenges throughout the history of fracture treatment. Most of these surgical failures were due to inadequate fixation of the fracture fragments. The Aim of the study is...

Objective: To evaluate the importance of tip apex distance in implant failure intertrochanteric fracture femur treated with Dynamic hip screw, so that optimum should maintain to decrease DHS. Study Design: It was a descriptive cross sectional study. Setting and Duration: Patients were selected from orthopedic unit Nishtar Hospital, Multan, July 2020 June 2021. Methodology: All patients meeting ...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the association between isolated second-trimester short femur length and fetal growth restriction as well as other adverse perinatal outcomes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with singleton gestations presenting for sonography between 16 and 24 weeks' gestation from 1990 to 2009. Cases of aneuploidy, skeletal dysplasia, and major anomalies ...

Background: Acquiring knowledge about anatomic and geometric quantities of bones is among the most vitalparameters in orthopedic surgery that has a significant effect on the treatment of various disorders and subsequentoutcomes. The aim of this study was to obtain anthropometric information for distal femur in order to compare withsimilar dimensions of prosthesis used in total...
