Femur bone is the longest and largest bone found in human body. It is also one of the most commonly fractured bones of human body, especially for the elderly. In this paper, vibration analysis of femur bone is studied by the help of finite element simulation to provide more insight in designing bio-aided equipments or protective sports equipments for femur. The simulations were performed using ...

introduction: the human anthropometric characteristics are surveyed in anthropology. anthropology is used in archeology, rehabilitation and legal medicine. the purpose of this study was to determine femur which has a special place in the science of anthropometry. methods: to measure the femur, both direct and indirect methods was used. the direct method of measuring the 113 femur in dissection ...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is one of the most common aging disorders. Its prevalence varies according to lifestyle and dietary habits in various countries. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in Tehranian women aged 40-60 years in 2000. Materials and Methods: In this study, 754 non-pregnant women were selected by cluster random sampling. Sociodemographic charac...

Introduction Osteoporotic fractures of the proximal femur are very common and often result in high rates of morbidity and mortality. Most osteoporotic fractures occur at locations that are rich in trabecular bone and there is increasing evidence that the trabecular and cortical bone architecture contributes significantly to bone strength. MRI has emerged as one of the leading in vivo methods fo...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the different patterns of bone loss between the lumbar spine and the femur after ovariectomy in rats. METHODS Twenty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a sham operation (the sham group) or bilateral ovariectomy (the ovariectomized group). Four and eight weeks after operation, six rats from each of the two groups were euthanized. Serum...

BACKGROUND The non-union within the femur with shortening of the limb as a consequence of trauma is an indication to choose external stabilisation as a method of treatment for that reason, that healing of the bone and surrounded soft tissues is disordered. MATERIALS AND METHODS Authors discuss the results of treatment of 16 patients with post-traumatic bone defect and pseudarthroses with femu...

Over the years, we have seen how, thanks to experimentation on animal models, foundations been laid in field of implantology. In most cases, studies related bone scale are carried out species that similar their movements and behavior humans. The femur has selected as reference for our test, selecting animals experiment with goat breed, bovine breed porcine similarity human body, obtaining speci...

Background: The Singh index is an inexpensive simple method to evaluate bone density, commonly used to assess osteoporosis is based on the radiological appearance of the trabecular bone structure of the proximal femur on a plain antero-posterior (AP) radiograph. The purpose of this study was to compare between Singh index and bone mineral density measurement using dual energy X-ray abs...
