Axial radiography of the normal distal femur for assessment of rotational alignment in Thai.
BACKGROUND It is crucial to recognize and understand anatomical features of the distal femoral condyles especially for orthopedists that take care of the elderly patient with leg deformity. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the rotational alignment of the distal femur by using axial radiographic technique. MATERIAL AND METHOD Thirty-six normal volunteers (72 knees) were enrolled in the present study.

متن کاملEvaluation of Distal Femoral Rotational Alignment with Spiral CT Scan before Total Knee Arthroplasty (A Study in Iranian Population)
Background: Evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative CT scanning. The purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational ...
متن کاملUnusual calcifying fibrous tumor of the distal femur: a case report and review of literature
Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare benign fibrous lesion of uncertain pathogenesis which shows distinct histological features. CFT has a broad anatomy distribution, and it was recently described in the subcutaneous and deep soft tissue, intra-cavity and intrinsic viscera. However, so far, there is no report to describe a CFT occurring in bone. We presented an unusual intraosseous CFT in a...
متن کاملFractures of the Distal Femur Fractures of the Distal Femur
The distal end of the femur traditionally encompasses the lower third of this bone. This zone varies greatly in the literature, from the distal 7.6 cm to the distal 15 cm of the femur. This chapter deals only with fractures that involve the supracondylar (metaphyseal) or intercondylar (epiphyseal) areas of the distal end of the femur. Distal femoral fractures that are purely diaphyseal are disc...
