| Abstract: | This study presents morphological analysis of 20 scans
of femur samples from European (Serbian) adults from trochanteric region based
on the customized computer aided reverse modeling procedure. Results indicated
that trochanteric region is a separate morphological unit of proximal femur,
named trochanteric wedge or canoe. This new perceiving of trochanteric region seems
to provide a better understanding of trochanteric wedge volume and, therefore,
better trochanter fractures treatment, operation planning, implant and
endoprothesis design and selection. Also, it brings a new light to anatomy of
proximal femur, its biomechanics and ossification. |
