Lateral Femoral Bowing and the Location of Atypical Femoral Fractures

Hip & Pelvis, 2017
Purpose Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) occur in two distinct part, subtrochanter and diaphysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the lateral femoral bowing angle and the location of AFF.

Dose-dependent new bone formation by extracorporeal shock wave application on the intact femur of rabbits [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Whereas various molecular working mechanisms of shock waves have been demonstrated, no study has assessed in detail the influence of varying energy flux densities (EFD) on new bone formation in vivo. Methods: Thirty Chinchilla bastard rabbits

Correlation between Abnormal Gait Pattern With Femoral Neck Stress Fracture In Athletes: A Systematic Review

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023
Backgrounds: Stress fractures are common overuse injuries in the lower extremities. Repetitive episodes of high-intensity or extended-duration axial load to the leg place the bone at risk of stress-related injury. The femoral neck is an uncommon location

Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease and the risk of injuries requiring hospitalization [PDF]

, 2012
Background and purpose Previous studies have suggested that Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is associated with repetitive trauma, coagulation problems and anatomical abnormalities of the blood supply to the femoral head. The hypothesis that repetitive
