• Proximal or distal 1/3 fractures MAY be managed best with a plate or an intramedullary nail depending on the location and morphology of the fracture
11 wrz 2023 · Shaft. The femoral shaft is a cylindrical structure with significant variability from one individual to another. The shaft is relatively wide at the proximal end but becomes progressively narrow toward the middle. It is bowed anteriorly, which contributes to the weight bearing capacity of the bone.
13 lis 2020 · The Shaft. The shaft of the femur descends in a slight medial direction. This brings the knees closer to the body’s centre of gravity, increasing stability. A cross section of the shaft in the middle is circular but flattened posteriorly at the proximal and distal aspects.
41 Results: Men with DDH showed higher neck shaft angles (127° ± 5° vs. 123° ± 4°; p<0.001), 42 while women with DDH had a larger femoral head diameter (46 ± 4 vs. 44 ± 3 mm; p=0.002), 43 smaller femoral offset (36 ± 5 vs. 40 ± 4 mm; p<0.001), decreased leg torsion (25° ± 13° vs. 31°
10 paź 2017 · The proximal femur can be divided into four main regions: femoral head, femoral neck, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric. Figure 1.4 depicts these radiographically. The femoral head-neck junction is defined as the subcapital region of the femoral neck and it is located intracapsularly.
• Fracture Location • Which part of the bone? • 1. Proximal end segment • 2. Diaphyseal segment • 3. Distal end segment 1
greater trochanter, lateral femoral condyle, and, if possible, the femoral shaft, are palpated and, if necessary, identified with a marker. A slightly curved line is drawn in a proximal direction corresponding to the curvature of the femur.
