conclusions this phenomenon has been reported as a rare complication of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. treatment of these patients is controversial and the long term results are unknown but efforts must be done for early diagnosis and anatomic reduction of femoral epiphysis. introduction slipped capital femoral epiphysis (scfe) is one of the complications of septic arthritis that occurs ra...

Background: Discriminant function analysis is the most popular statistical model in sex determination. This method is now becoming the choice for analysis the gender. Femor is important bone used for gender determination. The present study was conducted to determine the gender of individual using femoral head in study population.

Simultaneous post-traumatic ipsilateral fracture of femur head and subcapital femur neck without hip dislocation is a rare presentation and easily missed on X-ray imaging. A 48 years old male, with a history of high-energy road traffic accident, presented to us with severe pain in the left hip region and inability to ambulate. Preliminary X-ray showed impacted subcapital fracture with varus ang...

This paper presents a supervised texton based approach for the accurate segmentation and measurement of ultrasound fetal head (BPD, OFD, HC) and femur (FL). The method consists of several steps. First, a non-linear diffusion technique is utilized to reduce the speckle noise. Then, based on the assumption that cross sectional intensity profiles of skull and femur can be approximated by Gaussian-...

The authors examined the associations of maternal smoking in pregnancy with various fetal growth characteristics among 7,098 pregnant women participating in the Generation R Study (2002-2006), a population-based prospective cohort study of pregnant women and their children in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Introduction: Femur is the longest and strongest bone of human body. Its length associated with a striding gait, its strength weight muscular forces. It comprises an upper end, shaft lower end. Proximal part femur includes head, neck, greater lesser trochanters. Objectives: The present study aimed to record femoral head diameter parameters were carried out which would be help orthopedicians whi...

The ideal timing and modality of femur shaft fracture fixation in head-injured patients remains a topic of debate. Several groups advocate the immediate definitive fixation of femur fractures ("early total care"), whereas others support the concept of "damage control orthopaedics" with temporary fracture fixation by means of external fixation and staged, planned conversion to internal fixation....

PURPOSE The aim of present study is to evaluate the outcome of bone marrow instillation at the fracture site in fracture of intracapsular neck femur treated by head preserving surgery. METHODS This study included 32 patients of age group 18-50 years with closed fracture of intracapsular neck femur. Patients were randomized into two groups as per the plan generated via www.randomization.com. T...
