[Determination of the elasticity of the femoral cortex of Adam's arc in patients with osteoarthritis].
In this study, the compressive strength, the compressive force as well as cortical thickness of prismatic specimens from Adam's arc of the femur were determined in patients with osteoarthrosis. Correlations were evaluated between the cortical bone parameters, which depend on age and sex. Supported by histomorphometric data of cancellous bone, the great variability of mechanical properties revealed the variable osteological status prior to implantation of hip endoprostheses. Its eventual consequences for alloarthroplastic surgery had been discussed.
