Globular structure of the hypermineralized tissue in human femoral neck [PDF]
Journal of Structural Biology,Volume 212, Issue 2, 1 November
2020, 107606, 2020 Bone becomes more fragile with ageing. Among many structural changes, a thin layer of highly mineralized and brittle tissue covers part of the external surface of the thin femoral neck cortex in older people and has been proposed to increase hip fragility. However, there have been very limited reports on this hypermineralized tissue in the femoral neck,

Evaluation of functional outcome of patients with fracture neck of femur treated with Austin Moore prosthesis at government medical college, Thrissur-a prospective study during October 2019 to October 2020 [PDF]
, 2022 Background: Femoral neck fractures commonly affects the elderly population. 90% of femoral neck fractures in the elderly result from simple fall. Elderly age group suffers from innumerable illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease,

Femoral Neck Angle Impacts Hip Disorder and Surgical Intervention: A Patient-Specific 3D Printed Analysis [PDF]
ACM International Conference Proceeding Series 2019, 2020 The purpose of this study is to investigate the femoral neck angulation for prediction of the complication associated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) surgery and hip deformity. Three sample patients' MRI images were selected to calculate the femoral neck angles.

Predicting Fracture in the Proximal Humerus using Phase Field Models [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behaviour of Biomedical Materials, 2022, 2022 Proximal humerus impacted fractures are of clinical concern in the elderly population. Prediction of such fractures by CT-based finite element methods encounters several major obstacles such as heterogeneous mechanical properties and fracture due to compressive strains.

A Possible Protective Effect of the 'Cam Deformity' on Femoral Neck Fracture: The Relationship between Hip Morphology and the Types of Hip Fracture [PDF]
, 2020 We retrospectively evaluated the cases of 169 hip fracture patients, their previous fractures, and the contralateral hip joint’s morphology. A history of contralateral hip fracture was present in 23 patients (Contra group).

Outcomes of total hip arthroplasty, as a salvage procedure, following failed internal fixation of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
, 2016 AIMS: The optimal management of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck in independently mobile patients remains open to debate. Successful fixation obviates the limitations of arthroplasty for this group of patients.

Ex vivo estimation of cementless femoral stem stability using an instrumented hammer [PDF]
Clinical Biomechanics, Elsevier, 2020, 76, pp.105006, 2020 Background 15 The success of cementless hip arthroplasty depends on the primary stability of the femoral stem. It remains difficult to assess the optimal number of impacts to guarantee the femoral stem stability while avoiding bone fracture. The aim of this study is to validate a method using a hammer instrumented with a force sensor to monitor the ...

The impact of high total cholesterol and high low-density lipoprotein on avascular necrosis of the femoral head in low-energy femoral neck fractures [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) typically constitutes 5 to 15% of all complications of low-energy femoral neck fractures, and due to an increasingly ageing population and a rising prevalence of femoral neck fractures, the ...

Multi-view information fusion using multi-view variational autoencoders to predict proximal femoral strength [PDF]
, 2022 The aim of this paper is to design a deep learning-based model to predict proximal femoral strength using multi-view information fusion. Method: We developed new models using multi-view variational autoencoder (MVAE) for feature representation learning and a product of expert (PoE) model for multi-view information fusion. We applied the proposed models
