A total of 171 adult South Indian femora, devoid of gross pathology, are used to measure the neck-shaft angle, length of the neck, intertrochanteric apical axis length, maximum vertical diameter of the head, kinematic radius, and maximum femoral length. The neck-shaft angle ranges from 120Β°to 136Β°wi

The late outcome of 562 consecutive femoral neck fractures is presented; 396 were treated with a Thompson hemiarthroplasty, 121 by internal fixation, 4 by primary total hip replacement, and 41 were treated conservatively. Mortality during the first 30 days was 5%. The incidence of primary and second
The fate of the articular cartilage of the hip joint with intracapsular neck fracture was studied by histological, histochemical and autoradiographic techniques and by using a polarized microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Cartilage specimens from 93 femoral heads and 7 acetabula were obt
