The fracture toughness of the right femoral neck, femoral shaft, and tibial shaft of matched cadaveric bones, ages 50 to 90 years, was compared. Results of this study indicate that tensile (G Ic ) and shear (G IIc ) fracture toughness vary depending on bone location. The femoral neck has the greates

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
We have reviewed 29 cases of very unstable diaphyseal fractures of the femur in children and adolescents treated by Kuntscher nailing. Follow up was for at least 5 years, and in most cases until after the end of growth. There were no postoperative complications, and the mean overgrowth of the femur
