Measurement of the Femoral Head Diameter at Hemiarthroplasty of the Hip

Abstract: This paper is focusing on the measurement methods of the femoral head at the hip hemiarthroplasty surgery. The measurement result of 10 femoral head specimens using four different methods of Vernier calliper, ring gauge, CT scan and X-ray were compared. It is generally believed that under sizing of the implant may cover the errors of the measurement methods, but the result of this study shows that the callipers and ring gauge measurements are more reliable than the CT and X-ray methods. Conclusively, the full-… Show more

“…All these transformations were correlated with the determination of the size of the constituent parts of the germs (radicle and plumule), using a Modelcraft Vernier Caliper of 125 mm. Additionally, the caliper was used taking into account the procedure described in the literature [ 91 ].…”

“…Commercially available hip prostheses are made based on European data [22,23]. callipers and ring gauge measurements are more reliable than the CT and X-ray methods for measurement of femoral head diameter in hemiarthroplasty [24].The values in present study shows variations with other studies from different regions. Hence region specific data of present study helps orthopedicians in selecting appropriate prosthesis, to reduce postoperative failure of prosthesis in hemiarthroplasty.…”

“…Furthermore, the findings of this study, looking at spread of forces across the different models imply an anisotropic behavior in bone tissue. This suggests that to avoid structural failure, the in vivo bone will adjust itself to deal with the range of applied loading and the varying stresses generated within the femur [10,11]. This supports Wolff's law, which states that bone is laid down in response to the quantity and quality of the load experienced [3,4,12].…”
