Osteoporosis is a widely recognized health problem in postmenopausal women. Osteoporotic fractures reduce independency, limit daily living activities, and increase the mortality rate. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that low handgrip strength is a risk factor for functional limitations and disabilities, and all-cause mortality. We investigated the relationship between handgrip strengt...

Background: An osteological study of femur provides useful data to understand various diseases of femur and serves as a guide for the treatment of various pathological conditions of it. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the various parameters of femur among south Indian population and to compare them with the data available worldwide.

Heparin plus aspirin significantly improves the live birth rate of women with primary antiphospholipid syndrome. Osteopenia is a major concern of long-term heparin therapy. We studied prospectively the bone mineral density (BMD) changes during pregnancy and the puerperium in 123 women with primary antiphospholipid syndrome treated with low-dose aspirin and subcutaneous low-dose heparin (46 wome...

The cortical strains on the femoral neck and proximal femur were measured before and after implantation of a resurfacing femoral component in 13 femurs from human cadavers. These were loaded into a hip simulator for single-leg stance and stair-climbing. After resurfacing, the mean tensile strain increased by 15% (95% confidence interval (CI) 6 to 24, p = 0.003) on the lateral femoral neck and t...

Introduction: Osteochondroplasty of the anterior head-neck junction is often performed to treat femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) on the assumption that the underlying deformity is inadequate anterior offset of the femoral head. However, other morphologic abnormalities, including reduced anteversion, posterior slip, and widening of the neck can all cause loss of joint motion. In this study we...
