Effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) implant on the stress distribution of the femur - a finite element study
Hip fracture also known as femur fracture, is one of the most common types of injury experienced by the aging population. A hip fracture generally occurs in the proximal femur which is known as a proximal femoral fracture. One of the main contributing factors for hip fracture is osteoporosis as it c...
