Slipped capital femoral epiphysis SCFE is a Salter-Harris type 1 fracture through the proximal femoral physis. Stress around the hip causes a shear force to be applied at the growth plate. While trauma has a role in the manifestation of the fracture, an intrinsic weakness in the physeal cartilage also is present.

Femoroacetabular impingement Femoroacetabular impingement or FAI is a condition of too much friction in the hip joint. Basically, the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) rub abnormally creating damage to the hip joint. The damage can occur to the articular cartilage (smooth white surface of the ball or socket) or the labral cartilage (soft tissue bumper of the socket).

Hip Fracture A femoral fracture is a fracture of the thigh bone. The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body, so it requires a large or high impact force to break this bone. Most femur fractures are the result of a high energy trauma, such as a motor accident, gunshot wound, or jump/fall from a height. However, in an older population a simple fall may cause a femoral fracture due to reduced bone mineral density. A femoral fracture is a very serious injury and needs 3-6 months to heal.

Femoral vein It travels in close proximity to the femoral artery. This vein is one of the larger vessels in the venous system. Instead of draining deoxygenated blood from specific parts of the body, it receives blood from several significant branches. These include popliteal, the profunda femoris, and the great sapheneous veins.

Femoral Fractures Fractures of the femoral shaft are caused by a high-energy injury, such as a road traffic accident, unless a pathological fracture in a patient with osteoporosis or metastatic disease. They are often associated injuries to the hip, pelvis, knee and other parts of the body.

Femoral nerve The femoral nerve is the first of two large nerves that supply the leg, the other being the sciatic nerve; entrapments of either are extremely painful. The femoral nerve emerges from the mid to upper lumbar spine, whereas a sciatica originates from the lower back.

Femoral artery The femoral artery (Latin: arteria femoralis) is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the lower limb. It enters the thigh from behind the inguinal ligament as the common femoral artery, a continuation of the external iliac artery.

Artificial/Prosthetic Limbs Transfemoral-the artificial limb above the knee. Transradial-the artificial limb that replaces the arm below the elbow. Transhumeral-the artificial limb above the elbow. Modern day artificial limbs have moved a long way from the peg legs and cumbersome iron and wooden replacements for missing limbs used in olden days.

Femoral Neck Femoral neck is the region connecting the shaft of the thigh bone (femur) to its rounded head, which fits into the hip joint (Picture 1).The femoral neck is potentially weak, because of its relatively smaller cross-sectional area and spongy bone tissue (cancellous bone).It is a part of the weight-bearing axis, which means that the weight of the entire body passes through it. Hence, it is the most frequently injured part of the thigh bone.he femoral neck, normally, forms an angle of 120-135 degrees with the shaft of the thigh bone (Picture 3). This acts as a lever in easing the action of the muscles around the hip joint. An increase or decrease in this angle beyond the normal limits causes improper action of the muscles, and interferes with walking.

- Fracture, Femoral Neck - A frontal view of the upper right leg reveals a fracture of the femoral neck of the thigh bone, the point at which it connects to the hip joint. A femoral neck fracture is a hip fracture in which the neck of the thigh bone (femur) is partially or completely broken.

Femoral Nerve The terminal branch is the saphenous nerve, which passes through the adductor canal with the femoral vessels and supplies sensation over the region of the greater saphenous nerve in the gaiter region.

femur Femur is defined as the thighbone, the longest and thickest bone in the body. A bone in your body that goes from your pelvis to your knee and that helps you to walk by allowing you to move your leg from the hip to the knee is an example of a femur.

Femur Femur is the bone of leg that articulates above with the hip bone to form hip joint and below with the tibia and patella to form the knee joint. It is the longest bone of human body. Upper end of the femur has a head, a neck and greater and lesser trochanters.

Femoral Artery Click to read more below. The femoral artery is the main artery that provides oxygenated blood to the tissues of the leg. It passes through the deep tissues of the femoral (or thigh) region of the leg parallel to the femur. The common femoral artery is the largest artery found in the femoral region of the body.
