femoral head

Then, these measurements were compared to the femoral head of Lucy.

The femoral head was once more riding smoothly in its socket.

All newer materials allow use of larger diameter femoral heads.

It is caused by a slipped epiphysis of the femoral head.

Femoral heads are made of metal or ceramic material.

This has led to the procedure often also called "Femoral head and neck ostectomy".

The distinctive femur has a unique femoral head not seen in other dinosaurs.

The blood supply of the femoral head is much more likely to be disrupted in Garden types 3 or 4 fractures.

The patient's femoral head is most frequently discarded to hospital waste at the end of the surgical procedure.

X-rays usually demonstrate a flattened, and later fragmented, femoral head.

In breech position the femoral head tends to get pushed out of the socket.

I measured the diameter of the femoral head.

Which means that the damaged femoral head moved 6.7 million times back and forth along a narrow track within the cup of the hip joint.

In this position the ligament also keeps the femoral head pressed into the acetabulum.

This caused deterioration of the femoral head, ultimately requiring that the hip be replaced.

Her greater trochanter, however, was clearly derived, being short and human-like rather taller than the femoral head.

Although they measured different bones, all of the measurements could be used to estimate the size of the femoral head.

The acetabulum is the socket that receives the femoral head to make the hip joint.

This process takes place over months to years and eventually causes disabling arthritis, particularly of the femoral head (hip).

In hip dislocation, the femoral head is dislodged from this socket.

The highest concentrations of whitlockite appear in the weight bearing area of the femoral head.

The acetabular labrum is a fibrous structure, which surrounds the femoral head.

Almost all treatment requires surgery, which usually involves the placement of one or two pins into the femoral head to prevent further slippage.

These devices internally rotate the femoral head and abduct the leg(s) at 45 degrees.

The vasculature to the femoral head is easily disturbed during fractures or from swelling inside the joint capsule.
