| | Does Socket Configuration Influence the Position of the Femur in Above-Knee Amputation? - Journal of Prosthetics and ... |
| | This loss of position of the femur is not seen in patients who have a through knee amputation, as the balance between the adductors and abductors is maintained. | | | In conventional above-knee amputations, the residual adductor muscles invariably have been reattached to the femur with the femur in an abducted position, and they are therefore unable to generate sufficient force to pull the femur over and maintain the natural anatomical position. | | | Once the femur is in an abducted position within the muscle compartment, no amount of lateral pressure by the prosthesis will alter the existing configuration. |

| | Strain Analysis of the Proximal Femur After Total Hip Replacement |
| | When load is applied to the femoral head and the femur is viewed under polarized light, the bonded photoelastic coating experiences strain corresponding to that experienced by the underlying bone, and a characteristic colored fringe pattern can be detected. | | | While viewing the medial aspect of the femur, the femoral head was placed directly above the medial epicondyle. | | | As demonstrated for the intact femur, the points along the medial margin demonstrated the largest measurements for strain magnitude. |

| | So, in fact, a shortening of the femur bone does not FURTHER shorten the leg (which is already foreshortened), but keeps the leg where it is as the head and neck are dropped into place. | | | True enough that muscles had to be relaxed, but longstanding dislocation produced physical shortening of muscle and ligaments that went beyond active tension.The techniques of placing the dislocated femoral head into the socket in DDH (developmental hip dysplasia) are fairly old. | | | Indeed, the trick of shortening bone rather than (or in addition to) lengthening muscle and whatever else was so successful that shortening is used straight away for very severe cases even without varus or derotation. |
