femoral diaphysis

There is a more profound slowing of the bony reaction on the periosteal surface of the femoral diaphysis.

Tillaux' apparatus: A device used to reduce and maintain femoral diaphysis fractures in constant steady extension.

Twenty-seven of these animals were used in the histological study of the mandibular bone, the femoral diaphysis, the cementum and dentine of M1 and the canine tooth.

It may function as (1) a reinforcement mechanism for the proximal femoral diaphysis in response to increased ground reaction force and (2) to increase the attachment surface area for the gluteal musculature and thereby providing greater efficiency of contracture.
