The ball tip guide wire was then inserted to the proximal femur, just distal to the lesser trochanter. Care was taken to maintain fracture reduction during the passing of the guide pin and ...

which is distal to the shoulder. Or, similarly, the femur is proximal to the knee, which is proximal to the ankle, which is proximal to the toes.

24,49,50 Cameron 51 has argued that, given the mismatch of the proximal and distal femoral orientation and diameter in revision femora, modularity is necessary in revision THA if proximal fixation ...

A group of organisations, including the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Orthopaedic Association, has issued new guidance for managing proximal femoral ...

We measured bone mineral content (BMC) and bone area at the lumbar spine, total body, and proximal femur. Proximal femur scans were also analysed for bone geometry and structural strength using the ...

Proximal femoral growth plates were classified as open or closed. Cam morphology development was defined as every increase in visual score and/or increase in alpha angle from <60° to ≥60°, between two ...
