Atypical Femur Fracture Risk versus Fragility Fracture Prevention with Bisphosphonates
New England Journal of Medicine, 2020 BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates are effective in reducing hip and osteoporotic fractures. However, concerns about atypical femur fractures have contributed to substantially decreased bisphosphonate use, and the incidence of hip fractures may be increasing ...

The expression of MYH7 gene in femur, humeral muscle and back muscle tissues of fattening lambs of the Kermani breed [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2023 ObjectiveSkeletal muscles make up about 40% of body weight and are responsible for many functions, such as maintaining required energy, maintaining body condition, and protecting tissues. Normal growth of skeletal muscles is a prerequisite for animals to

, 2020 Abstract This chapter provides a detailed description of the Sterkfontein hominin femora and additional comparative and functional interpretations of these fossils, all of which are incomplete but still provide important information. While some have postulated that the differences among Sterkfontein femora reflect taxonomic differences ...

Morphometric parameters of the distal end of the femur and their influence on the knee joint [PDF]
Medicinski Podmladak, 2022 Introduction: The femur is a long pair of bones and it consists of the proximal, distal end and body. The distal end carries the medial and lateral condyle (condylus medialis et lateralis), the intercondylar fossa and line (linea et fossa intercondylaris)

Improving Equine Intramedullary Nail Osteosynthesis via Fracture Adjacent Polymer Reinforcement
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2022 Introduction: Osteosynthesis of the equine femur is still a challenge for veterinary medicine. Even though intramedullary fracture fixation is possible nowadays, the varying geometry of the medullary cavity along the bone axis is a critical factor ...
