Abstract EN
Purpose.
To establish a new approach for measuring and locating the femoral intramedullary canal isthmus in 3-dimensional (3D) space.
Methods.
Based on the computed tomography data from 204 Chinese patients, 3D models of the whole femur and the corresponding femoral isthmus tube were reconstructed using Mimics software (Materialise, Haasrode, Belgium).
The anatomical parameters of the femur and the isthmus, including the femur length and radius, and the isthmus diameter and height, were measured accordingly.
Results.
The mean ratio of the isthmus height versus the femoral height was 55 ± 4.8%.
The mean diameter of the isthmus was 10.49 ± 1.52 mm.
The femoral length, the isthmus diameter, and the isthmus tube length were significantly larger in the male group.
Significant correlations were observed between the femoral length and the isthmus diameter (r=0.24, p<0.01) and between the femoral length and the isthmus height (r=0.6, p<0.01).
Stepwise linear regression analyses demonstrated that the femoral length and radius were the most important factors influencing the location and dimension of the femoral canal isthmus.
Conclusion.
The current study developed a new approach for measuring the femoral canal and for optimization of customer-specific femoral implants.
