Fracture non-union of
femur is one formidable issue which may be encountered in a significant proportion of these patients.
The Team Ineos rider came off his bike during a suffered a suspected broken
femur and was out of the Tour.
"He's hit a wall at 60kph, he has a bad fracture, he's badly injured and it sounds like he has a fracture of the
femur."
Knowledge of the morphometric characteristics of the proximal
femur is important to reducing the risk of complications related to surgical procedures in the area due to vascular, metabolic or traumatic causes and to enable the alignment of prostheses to be implanted (Mahaisavariya et al., 2002).
Linea aspera is an important anatomical and surgical landmark on the shaft of
femur.3 To our knowledge, limited data is available in global literature on the morphometric features of linea aspera.
It is pillared on a concept of the establishing of 2 different supporting position for the implants and their biplanar orientation in head and neck of
femur. The femoral neck following fixation with screws requires support to the weight-bearing head portion, which would act like beam an overhanging edge, which must have 2 different supporting positions for the support of the head fragment.
We describe the development of the tool and assess its ability to reproducibly detect regional changes in the proximal
femur. Finally, we applied the tool in vivo to 89 subjects' proximal
femurs.
* Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL)--This ligament provides front-to-back stability (and a tiny bit of rotational stability) between the
femur and tibia in the knee joint.
An osteochondroma is classified into two types, i.e., either sessile or pedunculated and usually occurs within the metaphysis typically projecting away from epiphysis.[1] Osteochondromas usually locate around the knee (50%) in which distal
femur is the most common site.[2]
The
femur is the largest, longest, and strongest bone in the human skeleton.
This results in a decrease in proximal
femur strength and the increased occurrence of hip fractures despite low-energy injuries, such as lateral falls.[7] A growing number of studies have confirmed that hip bone density and geometry structure are two important determinants of proximal femoral bone strength.[8],[9],[10],[11],[12] Therefore, it is of great significance to study the geometric parameters of the hips of elderly patients with hip fractures.
Material and Methods: Forty-two patients were included in this study who showed delayed healing of
femur fractures from six weeks to six months after initial treatment with static interlocking nailing.
But Kenya national sevens rugby team back Arthur Owira has taken his serious injury in good cheer.The Kenya Commercial Bank RFC player suffered a horrific injury in Kenya's final group game against Zambia on Saturday, fracturing his right
femur bone.
